6049 was on the 5:34 journey for about two weeks, then it was the 7:06, then 7:36 with various other deckers then 7:33 today with a different decker.
Which one is it?

Also at the depot of what looked to be a number of ex London Gemini 2s of which 6204 was one of them which was in roadstripe livery. Not sure if there are actually going to be dedicated replacements for the DFDS Omnidekkas.

6049 has transferred from Sunderland, 6225 is due to transfer from Riverside (but is currently VOR), and 6204 should be entering service (went through MOT yesterday).
6147/48 to transfer to Riverside tonight (but also due imminent withdrawal) providing temporary cover while E400s are away for repaint.

6945, 6950/51 and 6959/60 still await repaint into fleet livery.
6950 is at Gardiners, 6959/60 are at London Bus Works.
After no repaints at Saltmeadows since August, things are starting back up again here. 6967 was the first repaint of the new year, the Quaycity Versa will follow suit into fleet livery.

(29 Jan 2023, 6:22 pm)Dan wrote We seem to live in a new world at GNE where route branding isn’t particularly high up the list of priorities. I wouldn’t have expected 5498 to be repainted into Green Arrow livery.
