They aren't in 'bad shape' by any means, so I'd guess if they were going to repaint (which MG has said is not planned), they'd just be done as and when they need it.
I know The 49 was a pathetic excuse for a brand, but it was actually pretty nice to be able to see from quite a distance that it was indeed a 49!
Also, I know I said I wouldn't bring up NSAs and some think I'm a bit negative, but honestly I'm past caring about what other people think, so what I've noticed recently that really irritates me is services being referred to as 'your x service' rather than 'the x service'. It's a small thing, but I just don't like it.
Is it supposed to make it feel more personal?
The 49 wasn't a "pathetic excuse" for a brand, actually. It did its job in outlining the route with its branding on the cant rail. I actually quite liked the big 'badge' saying "The 49", and the same goes for "The 9".
Regarding the NSAs: when have they ever said 'your' rather than 'the'? That's news to me...
