Tagline updates thanks to our very own Kuyoyo:

5333 - 'No Change?': https://www.flickr.com/photos/60502549@N...otostream/

Only minor criticism would be the website being omitted. Not so much of an issue with the Mercs given they are going to be going for refurbishment shortly (I'm surprised they are even getting the taglines to be honest!) but hopefully it is something that will be rectified on all other vehicles in the future.

I'm pretty sure most people know this now but 4922 has been sold to A-line Coaches along with 4915.

5292 is at the back of deptford .

5277 has next stop announcements for the Q3

5215 has the '35 million miles' tagline.

You'll certainly not miss it! Is it going to be for a promotional livery?

If only.

If it is a promotional livery, it looks like it could be a promotional livery for a while... maybe Pride or promoting Sunderland?

With it being a spare, means it could travel around alot.

Wouldn't pink or rainbow colours not be more appropriate? Thought 8335 only ended up yellow as it was originally still part of the Quaylink PVR when branded

Can't they just do that via vinyl?

Would be nice.....

Probably yeah, although it would be good to see another pride bus on the road I just doubt it somehow just because it happens to have been painted the same colour as 8335.

It being branded Pride would provide an explaination why it is being 'swapped' with 5284 - Riverside already have a Pride bus allocated there, would be best to distribute them across the fleet rather than having them all at one depot.

I imagine the Poppy Bus replacement will be upcoming too. Perhaps one of the next lot of refurbishments could be repainted appropriately for this purpose?

Ye, it might move to a Citaro allocation but hopefully its allocated elsewhere in the region though, like Sunderland as the current one has been at Gateshead/ Riverside since the brand was released.

As it was said it move around and that didn't happen.

Are there any remaining Omnidekkas that need the new livery applied? 

Once they are completed are there any plans to update the livery on any of the Vykings or Presidents.

I'm assuming they will be withdrawn in the next few years?

I think they'll remain the same as now, can't see them repainting them, the Presidents are starting to get withdrawn now and the Vykings won't be far behind.

How many presidents are currently in service. (can't view the list on my phone).

30 (Dennis Trident + Volvo B7TL) - might only be 29, depending on whether 3890 has actually been withdrawn yet.
