Yeah it makes no sense. Slatyford have a lot of 106**’s and the 260**s still in Beachball plus all of the ex Stockton 262**’s. Walkergate got all the 39/40 MMC’s as well, surely some of them should be going in for repaint not the buses in local.
to be fair to SNE, alot of the stuff delivered in the 2016 and 2019 batches of beachball still look in good nick, some look practically brand new still,
where as some of the older stuff that got put into the local looks absoloutely terrible. i know when i worked at slatyford the managers had a rolling programme of regular repaints but if something looked decent it would sometimes be skipped for something that was a lot worse.
