Wonder if it'll keep its 36/37/38 sub-branding.
Others at the paint shop now appear to be Sunderland-based 36969 (https://www.flickr.com/photos/189134926@...otostream/) and Slatyford's 10638 (https://www.flickr.com/photos/189134926@...otostream/)

Quite surprised they've started painting the E200/E400MMC's when there is still a large number of E200/E300/NG & E400's still to be painted.
Looking at the fleet list on Bus Times the following are still in Beachball or other Non Standard Liveries:
39 - E400MMC's
15 - E400H's
29 - E400's
24 - ALX300's - Unsure as to how many of these will be repainted given there age.
16 - MAN/Transbus E300's
21 - E300 Gas
5 - Pointer Darts
38 - E200MMC's
29 - E200's
46 - MAN E200's - Highly doubt these will get repainted as I would expect these to be replaced in the near future due to poor reliability.

One of the E300 gas buses is getting the pride livery, not sure which one as Harry Barker (his post) didn’t state the fleetnumber on Stagecoach North East & North West Enthusiasts Group on Facebook.

Not a fan of the blue headlight surrounds.
