It was on Darlington's service 2 today, 20 April 2023. It did not appear to be in service from 2nd April for a few days so presumably was repainted then. It has been back out since 11 April. This lends credence to the suggestion that it should not have been painted green.
There's much confusion as to why it's been painted green, heard a suggestion that it's not meant to be green!

(07 Jul 2023, 2:34 pm)Kuyoyo wrote 1531 doesn't - it was given a second repaint last autumn when it went for internal refurbishment, so matches the rest of the refurbished examples at Durham.
And the reason 1513-23 do is down to them having Bonded Glazing rather than Gasket as per the rest of the Pulsars - hence retaining the black.

Is that due to finances or is that due to any new bus that they will get will be leather seated, USB charging and the all the rest of it? I know a lot of buses are loosing their Sapphire and Max Status for the new Journey Mark Livery. Especially when the X3/X4 and 5/5A streetlites and they got debranded a long while back. Will it be the ending of Route Branded buses at Arriva?

(12 Jan 2024, 9:06 am)Storx wrote It's been scrapped about a year after the new livery came out, pretty much. Arriva are just so slow at repainting everything that it's sticking around, mind not that's a bad thing in a way as it's a waste of money painting buses that don't need painting.
(12 Jan 2024, 7:37 pm)Mike_98 wrote It will be definitely interesting to see what Arriva do from this point forward when they get new buses in the future.

Quite an interesting one but actually decent I must say. Problem is Arriva in Stockton always swap buses on different routes so I wonder if this one will always stay on the 16.
