It does seem ridiculous these ex-Preston Solos still having PrestonBus instead of Diamond insignia.

Being 1st generation Hybrids & now 9+ years old, I doubt they're very fuel efficient compared with current Euro 6 diesel equivalents & I expect they're now proving troublesome & costly to maintain with little benefits.

Bolton had been working though the repainting of ex Yourbus stock pretty quickly, only 2 x Citaros & 1 x Enviro200 left to complete. The same applies in Preston, buses up there still have Diamond branding on PB base colours & have had for some time.
