(10 May 2014, 8:19 pm)Kuyoyo wrote To give figures, removing the vehicles due for withdrawal, the following vehicles at each depot require repaints:I think 1404 to 1407 should be a priority as they are X1 branded but for various reasons appear on other Darlington services plus branding no longer relative as since March last year they are used on Service 1 work and are branded for Crook but now go to Tow Law as well. Also the competition with OK1 is now over perhaps not a good thing as it kept Arriva on it's toes

I make that 56 of the remaining 1998-livered vehicles that will remain at the end of the year. Of course, all OmniCitys bar those listed at Stockton are due for repaint as part of the 'MAX' refurbishment (bar 4663 which is likely part of the 85/685 refurbishment programme). I think the likelihood of the remaining 3 original livered Lowlanders being repainted is very low but stranger things have happened (1711/2 springs to mind).
