Customers can't really tell the difference between a Volvo B7TL and a Volvo B9TL, so when they see 3941 turn up, they'd expect the vehicle to be equipped with power sockets and free Wi-Fi.
This is obviously not the case, so repainting the Volvo B7TLs into corporate livery means that customers will think it's an ordinary 'red spare' - no more confusion as a result!
i had a convo with a Scott Copper recently about the Tyne Tees Express and he said they should have got a red spare in the 1st place
would make sense to repaint 3941 into red to be used on Tyne Tees Express or Ten saves on using 6071 which is always on there instead of its designated route which is 10/10A/10B
