Seeing the possibility that 6330 could be the first bus to be painted into the newest fleet livery.
I might aswell start the new thread for when these repaints happen so it does not get mixed up with the 2019 Livery thread.

Really was not expecting them to repaint the 2017 Angel Streetdecks in the 2026 Fleet Livery but hopefully this new fleet livery doesn't look bad on the ADL's when their time comes for a repaint whenever that may be

Seems a bit pre-emptive when we don't know if it'll be in 2019 or 2026 livery?

6330 has indeed been repainted into the 2026 Livery!

6330 has been repainted into the 2026 livery, the first vehicle to do so

It's also had its seats re-trimmed with the same moquette as the new examples.

Intresting move, At least it gives a refresh after 9 years of being the Leather Seats and those headrests no longer have an outdated logo  
Will be nice when the X-Lines get done they won't keep the gold leather when they get retrimmed if thats what they are doing for all the buses going into the 2026 Livery.

Also not related to your reply but might aswell type it out whilst I thought of it, I do wonder what the plan is for the more newer vehicles in the 2019 livery such as the ADL Enviro 200MMCs? Surely they will eventully get "Adapted" into the 2026 Livery?
Find it strange that a 2017 Vehicle gets the treatment and newest repaint but a vehicle such as 5488 which is a 2019 Vehicle only gets the 2019 livery despite being the newer bus to the Streetdeck and was the most recent 200MMC to be repainted out of the whole batch.

It's possible that they only have the design plan for the double decker for the 2026 livery. Come to think of it, would the 2026 livery work on the single decker as most of the design is between decks.

Picture from the front here. Does suit the livery. However, not a huge fan of the side logos position

I think this is the first time it’s struck me how much the Green Angel logo dates a vehicle, even the new Angel design looks outdated compared to fleet livery

I ran a Streetlite and E200MMC through ChatGPT and they come out like this.

6315 has received the new livery & a refurb

Oh very nice. Thought it would of been a much longer wait until those Angels got done up seeing as 6330 was at Washington, Oh well at least they are starting to work on them now

Also, Are they still going to keep the "Darren Gray" Name on this?

I believe the 'Darren Gray' name is still on the bus

Unsure if this one has had an internal refurb. A comment on Facebook suggusts its been rushed back into service due to 'bus shortages'

Its not like Consett still have 5 Gen 1 B9s sitting withdrawn?

Surely if your short you would reinstate what you have to combat the issue

Also worth noting 6337 is missing its front panel and ticket machine. Despite being off the road for nearly a year and a engine change this bus has spent more time off the road than on since joining from EYMS

From how quick it went from in service to repaint to in service again, I would guess that it hasnt. 6330 did take a little longer to get back on the road
