so i guess the route branded ones at Oldham will be left where they are
i wonder if 32440 to 52/60 to 65/32531 to 42 will still come here still as expected on my list
also have the same for 33656/57/63 but they are on First Plymouth list there is talk of 2 Enviros going to Huddersfield for 184 and 36181/82 coming here
33656/7/63 were never in Plymouth, 33658-62/4-7 are the Plymouth ones.

Another B9 repaint at BN spotted yesterday this time without any fleetnumbers. GM branding or "f" logos. Off the top of my head I think it was 37374 but dont quote me on that.
It's great they are repainting this quick (because we've all moaned in the past about not repainting at all) but I wish they'd send out completed vehicles rather than unfinished ones because there is the chance they will never finish them.

You are so spot on, let me shake your hand, I couldn't agree more, I saw 37374 on Monday with massive fleet number below desti, no stickers of any kind, looked bloody hideous. There is no point in repainting quickly, if they make a pigs ear of it, by not finishing them properly, sending them out is ridiculous. They did it At Bury with 37294/6/9
Something you maybe able to help me with, 37378 was seen with no fleet and stickers and 37374, but also saw a B9 the other day. No fleet numbers, so did a reg check and it came back as 37380 but dont quote me on that. Have you seen 37380 lately?

Just realised I think it was 37376 that i saw last night. I have seen 37374 as well but actually think the fleet numbers on the front as temporary as they've not put them on the sides or back yet.
37379/80 were painted at Oldham last week but not seen them as of yet.
Really cracking on with these now. Should have all the B9s at BN done soon and the B7s are starting to be seen in numbers as well. Pretty sure the Scanias will be done it time, well at least I hope so as they are in a shocking state. Was behind BYs 60185 this morning and couldn't believe how bad it was. Mind you, most of Bury's allocation have been in need of a repaint for years now. Makes me laugh that 69201 at BN has just had it's 3rd repaint whilst all of Bury's 06 reg B7s haven't had one!

I looked at the same fleet list
instead of arguing about what is at plymouth and what isn`t why don`t we wait til all paralympic buses have returned to service up here then deduce from that the 7 that are there.
plus have any of you thought they might have needed some possibly tempoarily to cover the relaunch of p/r (plymouth)on sept 2nd if theres wern`t available they`d have borrowed/loaned the nearest new enviros probably some from eton dorney (stationed at reading) til theres came back this week like ours have then any that aren`t theres can be moved to correct locations.
c`mon guys this is first they don`t do rational they do short term fixes.
