If they painted them in a fleet livery, then they would've never needed to be repainted in the first place.
Enviro's look terrible without the black imo, it's just cost cutting. The fact they're branding 13 year old junk, is embarrassing, especially considering these used to be London Bus red so they could've just done the blue and saved the messing about.
Even worse considering these are 5 years older than the buses on the same bus route 8 year ago.
