Given 6045's entry into service, I wonder if that means its 6301's last day in service at Consett today , as its a regular on 47's

Are these buses being refurbished inside or just re painted?

They've been reupholstered with the new moquette, and I believe they're getting USB chargers (if they don't have them already)

Has 6048 got that L.E.D display temporarily?

RE: Red Kite Ranger | A new brand for services 47/47A - Unber43 - 22 Apr 2022

Does anyone know which 47/47A Vehicles have USB chargers, I was on one earlier and it didn't leaving my phone on 15%. 

Some have plugs, but they don't work

I don't think any of them do? Don't they just have the 3 pin plug sockets from when they were new?

I'm surprised you're still relying on bus chargers, USB or otherwise, given the history of posts around them on here over the years. Even if they've become more reliable in recent years, it'd be wise to invest in a powerbank instead.

Im thinking of it, the newer Streetdecks are good, E400 are quite bad i don't know if they're broke or turned off. I was on a 47/47A and they had it, so maybe one had. Citaros are good, same with the 17 & 66' Plate Streetlites and the Solos

Really the plug sockets should be taken out and replaced I don't think any of the 10's got them replaced when they were refurbished
