That’s what confused me initially, seeing new liveried vehicles rubbed done when some are still knocking around in the old livery.

Now remaining at Walkergate, freshly repainted 19671 tracking as 39711 back in traffic

Something to do with the paint or finish, not sure but was told a few weeks ago that several are in line to be repainted again despite still large numbers of Beachballs about

Hopefully Hartlepool's E200s are getting freshened up too. Some of them look in a right state already.

Think that might be down to their wash - given many of them looked a right state in beachball too, with the white turning a ghastly yellow.

With the Scania Gas E300's staying, the remaining Beachball's are being repainted, first up 28026

It will be, at least a partial one - have you seen the state of it?! Mismatched panels all over the thing.

Thanks for info mate

Still 8 gas buses to paint well 9 if you include 28039 but that’s off to reading. Seems to be taking forever

26281 could be due aswell the NS skirt panel has an azure blue partial paint next to the legal address

could be anyone's guess, whoever saying as the beachball on them is still looking quite new, just like some of the other MMC it could be a while

Thanks for info mate

28014 has left the paint shop, on 4/13 today.

has 39808 actually been repainted into local

Is that a typo as there isn't a 39808

Apparently 39708 is in the paintshop. Would be interesting to see one of them in the new livery.

Wouldnt be the first overall, I photographed 2 of the type in the new livery in Hull a few years ago

Should have been scrapped.. desperate situation keeping those heaps.

Apparently the electric buses are delayed so hence why the MANviro's are getting repainted.

Deffo been done, out in service today on the 4 and 7.

39708 seen in fading light this afternoon - https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photog...3460236784

19678 is new colours now at Stockton depot.

34605 is currently in for repaint. Very surprising given its age and that it was only painted in December 2022.

28003 has been painted into Sunderland Busways colours. Believed to be the first of four Busways liveries to be done (one for each depot).

Good secret keeping from Stagecoach as usual.
