These vehicles will not be repainted again as they (irritatingly) didn't ever receive branding whilst allocated to service 39.It's about time the former drifter vehicles will now get branded and 8319 might be a minor change to the vehicle in regards to route compared to last time
8325 should be repainted w/c 2nd March, and 8327 should follow on w/c 9th March. Similar to the recent Scania L94UB/Wright Solar repaints for "Prince Bishops" services 20/20a, After all vehicles have been repainted, 8306 - 8309 and 8319 - 8327 will receive branding for services 2/2A, which is thought to be "SimpliCity".
I am not sure when 5298 - 5309 and 5325 - 5327 will be branded for services 35/36, but I would suggest that it would make sense to repaint these vehicles prior to branding them again, as 5298 - 5309 were last repainted in December 2011. This could well mean that there will be plain gold buses running around for a good few weeks yet. There's no excuse for not branding 5320 - 5324, though, so I'd anticipate that screen services will be in to brand these as soon as the livery design has been finalised and the vinyls ordered.
