Nope. That returned a few weeks ago, still in the original livery.

He means the Bangor cadet recently involved in an RTA, 2481

Not been touched by the looks of it.

2714 is knackered. Pretty sure thats for scrap now.
The sapphire Enviro400 is 4422.
2619 has appeared now as well. Parked where 4414 was between 2717 and 8207.

Is there a reason why buses going under refurbishment and repaint are not being done to the same standard?

Some vehicles are receiving e-leather moquette and repaint, where as others are receiving USB charging as well, and others are just receiving repaint and old 'chessboard' moquette only.

Aside from the cost, is there a particular reason for the difference in fleet standards?

I suppose it promotes the technology and the luxury doing bits and bobs. But I never know which way Arriva are going doing it this way round. Other big operators are doing everything all at once from my observations. Perhaps a refresh of the paintwork where Arriva are giving the bus a new livery.

I think its all down to what each depot asks for individually
