(17 Mar 2013, 1:57 pm)Daniel wrote A Stagecoach in Sunderland driver who is in a relationship with my sister has just told her that there are some vehicles that have just arrived at Sunderland's depot having their 'stickers taken off'.
I have no idea which vehicles these are, as it seems strange that those ex-Hull Tridents would receive maintenance work at Sunderland. Seems even stranger than they've arrived already, actually.

Another thought which passed through my head was that it was the new vehicles for Stagecoach in Sunderland - but seems early for those to have arrived too. And why would they need stickers to be taken off? Surely it'd be the other way...

Anyone have any definite info?

Could be some of the Tridents, considering most of them are still branding 'Frequento'. Although, why they've bypasted Stockon and gone to Sunderland when Stockton could easily have debranded them in-house (did it last year with 22064) is somewhat a mystery unless the example there is going straight in for a repaint.
