(02 Feb 2015, 2:51 pm)Dan wrote As 8306 - 8309 and 8319 were repainted purple at the back end of 2013 and these vehicles are now allocated to services 2/2A, I cannot see them being repainted again, hence my earlier suggestion that 8320 - 8327 will emerge from the paintshop in purple too.
The real question is whether the "SimpliCity" brand name will be retained on this purple base coat or not...

(03 Feb 2015, 7:58 am)Michael wrote It is, They still have the 61 down simpicity on the site to.Yes - web content does need sorting out. Paper timetables on buses are all correct so I see no reason why the website isn't up to date.
The Lime 8 route hasn't being updated... as it still has it goes via Hastings Hill all the time, when its only a few runs...

Will see what I can do as it's irritating me too - I managed to get a few things done last time, but this was primarily the Euro ratings and a lot of things were ignored.

Michael I was sat on the 20A heading to Sunderland when 8320 showed up, so I quickly got off took a photo and got straight back on, sure Dan and others have done this on several occasions also, as for the 2/2A allocations there were 3 Northern/Corporate Liveried Solars on today, I had the pleasure of 4936 back home from Sunderland, 5202 and either 4942 or 4943 were the others iirc, these allocations should have resulted in 8321 being sent to Saltmeadows for Repaint, sure Dan will confirm this though as usually does a little update on a Wednesday.

Can't see the X36 lasting long. Saw it leaving Market Street on Saturday with one passenger.

(04 Feb 2015, 8:46 pm)Dan wrote To be honest, nothing much seems to have changed. The changes weren't designed to increase passenger numbers - they were really just to improve reliability and improve cross-city links by merging already established services.
With the morning peak X36s to Enterprise Park being cut, the 8s now leave Park Lane absolutely rammed... But that's about it!
