Although I do appreciate they are ageing and becoming a bit more unreliable. Would rather travel on a merc any day of the week over a streetlite

Looks like at the moment they're finishing off repaints on the vehicles allocated to Connections 4, Drifter 60, Country Ranger 8, East Gateshead Rider 58 and Voltra Q3 before they move onto doing Angel & X-Lines Streetdecks and CityRider 56's as they don't seem to have released anything else for repaint following entry into service of some of the new buses.
I could see them using the East Gateshead Rider B9's once repaints are completed as a "Float Fleet" to cover Buses that then go for Repaint/Refurbishment in the coming months.
