The fact 8306-09/19 have not yet been branded makes me think there may have been a change of plan (which is why I've not referred to service 39 as being a part of the SimpliCity network or referred to the Versas as to be branded SimpliCity), but much like the Versas on the 61 (which was designed to be temporary after the 36 was withdrawn and until fleet movements occurred), I think it's going to end whereby passengers have become familiar with the current allocation and recognise the purple bus approaching as their bus. I think it could end up being the choice that is settled for.
As for 5210, I've no idea. Clearly there's a reason why it hasn't yet been branded but I don't know it.
