Approximately 75 vehicles in total which need to be repainted - excluding those already listed for disposal and the Prestiges which we're expecting to depart the fleet too.
75 vehicles / avg 3 repaints per week = 25 weeks
Definitely achievable to repaint all of the vehicles in the Original Arriva livery by the end of this year, assuming there is an ongoing flow of vehicles being repainted (as is the case with Go North East). Will bring us to the end of the year nicely.
