Wonder if they'll end up on the X66 as said before until the electric buses arrive (my suggestion is for the 57 and X66 to get them)

Looks like 9056. Conveniently already white after carrying a promotional livery in Edinburgh.

Does this mean 9056 will be in use more with its livery? Was out on X lines today.

Yes, planned to be used on X-lines routes.

Will the red Plaxton Presidents ever get repaint or will they stay red.

So that's the solos done. Is that all GNE 2016 buses done

Not sure if there still a Versa at CLS, and 5304?

Can't imagine GNE will do the Presidents unless it's Voyager colours

I believe 5304 has been roadstriped.

Ah yes, the route which has a 4 vehicle type mixed allocation ranging from a Solo to a coach. 

Given they're branded as Northern Coaching, for hire, and allocated to different depots, I think it's pretty clear that they aren't for a service route.

Maybe it’s because I’m not a football fan but surely having these white spares on the Q3 and Xlines services especially is quite a downgrade for customers. Sure, some might think oh that’s good, as they see them approach, but then once inside it’s a bit of a disappointment over usual allocations, no?

Agreed! Whilst it’s a great initiative, it would’ve been better if they’d put them on a similar spec route such as the 25 or 28 for the Versa.

See 8347 on the Q3 is seen mostly on there alongside a 2019 Versa. It's not really a downgraded as there isn't much of a change apart from no nsa or comfortable seats
