It's only a floating vehicle, so I doubt it.
Should be going shortly, all solos are now updated

Cheers, I thought the little pinks was going, seems to be quite a few still with the livery.
Was hoping the pointless venture branded solos would go too.

638 looks to be hanging around. It’s left Deptford now and working at Riverside

5801 is the first E12 in the new Voltra Livery

So that arrived new in base Metrocentre livery, then (from a quick Flickr search) appears to have been painted into 2019 Fleet livery, then into the awful Durham Explorer brown and cream, and now back into 2019 Fleet livery?
Hopefully that is yet another example of why they should be sticking to fleet livery over route branding. Granted it does now seem the lesson has finally been learned.
Presumably all new electrics will arrive in the refreshed Voltra livery (and not a route variation of it), and hopefully all cascades as a result of them, (plus any newly acquired diesels) all get the 2019 Fleet livery.

I can't help feeling the 2019 livery will be replaced soon.

Are the new deckers going into a new version of the Angel / Electric livery?

I stand corrected! About time though, if any busses needed done its that batch and the good old Voyagers!

I think the Voyagers will just stay as they are until they go ..
