If Scania's are going to the Training School - and being prepared by Thorntons, are they likely to get a paint refresh and new vinyls, along with what ever modifications are required. Is it known how many Scanias are expected to join the training school?

I liked the coaches which were used and I thought they looked good in the red and white livery, I always felt that when the Cadets went on training school duties, it just looked a little temporary with pretty much just a Yellow "Training Vehicle" vinyl to the front screen.

Also if the Cadets on Training School are being withdrawn, is it likely that the Metrocentre S1 service may receive a Scania, so that its Cadet can be withdrawn?
