Also when the X84/85 went X lines was the PVR not 5 for a while, with 6337, or was that just a spare, I am not sure. There are other examples which have happened later after an order, like with 3962 and 65 being added in to the Angel as well as 6056 - 70, and the PVR of the 10 services has changed many times, as has the 307/309 since their buses were ordered.

Now after having a thought It has happened a lot more times:
- IndiGO Washington had 2 Older Optare Solo's branded up for the 85/86
- Most Recently the CityRiders taking on the Cobalt Interior G2 6099
- The Dealer Stock 2015 Gemini 2's for the Red Kite 47 (Riverside Route at the time) made its way onto the Consett 45/46 to make the Streetlite & Gemini allocation for the 45/46/47

There is probably a lot more. As much as I like the brands that GNE had. This gives good reasons to go Fleet Livery.
