Funny to see that 3037 has an advert for USB Charging on the rear - is this just human error or a hint to future?

It's not getting a repaint into the corporate livery is it? Unless it will retain the CrossRiver colours, just getting a touch-up instead.

I'm also intrigued to see 4105 as a training bus, depending on the depot's allocation in the future. The only time I can think specifically of a ALX400 training bus was from a TV series that I watched a few years ago.

It'll be based at Speke like all the other training buses...

The crossriver is in the new all over blue corporate livery but it's still not complete , so not sure if it will get crossriver branding or not reapplied.
4105 will be based in speke to allow new drivers to get a feeling of driving a double decker and get use to the dimensions etc which I think is a good thing , instead of just giving a quick veichle familiarising when they arrive at there operating depot.

Now that's surprising one of the 110 Sapphire Enviro400s from Wakefield are having a makeover there. Wonder what livery they will turn up as though?
