Oh right, was hoping for a ride on it. Never mind, at least got a photo of it the other day though.

We'll just have to wait and see. I wouldn't be particularly surprised if they are aiming for 1 bus per depot though (minus Peterlee, Hexham and Crook).

I do wonder why spare buses need to gain a special livery like this before they get the feature blobs. I know most internet connections pop up on the customers device (may not be the case with all phones) and a message regarding Free WiFi being available scrolls along the screen on the Streetlites but I just find it strange why the features aren't advertised on the exterior of the vehicle. Mind, there is still no WiFi blobs on the Crusader or WTX Citaros.

Don't the WTX Citaros have a huge wifi symbol on the rear side window exterior?

Not the WTX, no. Only the vehicles that were new in 2013 got those stickers.

+1, It looks like one of the joke photoshop edits you'd make. Maybe seeing it on the versas before the streetlites would have impacted my judgement more positively, but I'm still sceptical.

When will they get the livery on the ex nexus solos at percy main which are now pink for indigo. Also the recently painted versas for Q3 surely these should be priority to get up to the correct spec.

The four Nexus solos at Percy Main were the only 4 that were due to be repainted pink.
