The Ex Bee network B9s were done very quickly

Youve still got the 2 Gateshead riders & the remaining red kites & country rangers.

I don't think we will see any Xlines buses done anytime soon. Theres currently a Red X lines streetdeck at saltmeadows that broke down near leadgate the other day with a few panels been swapped, I would imagine they will only be repainted in instances like this where its needed. Alot of the Xlines buses are looking very shabby on the exterior.

I could see the CountryRangers and the Remaining 2 SuperShuttles being done a lot sooner as that will mean the Single Deckers are done. Planned ones anyways. Don't see Bishops being wrapped up until the new Orders allow the Doubles on the 20.

As for the Red deckers, they should do what Transdev did with some of their stuff when they had to wait for repaints and have a tagline saying "I'll be red and blue soon" that way they can remove the branding but let it just run until everything is sorted.

For the XLines deckers I would honestly have it done in this order:
- The B5TLs: If the CountryRangers are done before it would mean deptford can be up to date for the current time being
- 6376 & 6377: The livery should of gone ages ago when 6336/7 got done.
- XLines Light Green: Should of been done a while ago but its just a mess
- XLines X30s: Only 2 to be done.
- XLines X10s: Only 4 to be done.
- XLines Red & Dark Green: Seeing as both batches are at Consett they can be done in a mixed order



I know its a rare workings talk but once they are out the way, I guess it will make this thread quiet.
