Although it would appear the Wardle red livery has stopped now, also the acquisition of Midland/D&G has seen all buses from that concern painted into full corporate colours.

Oh Superman where are you now, when everything's gone wrong somehow, the men of steel, the men of power, are losing control by the hour.

7674 is also once again still about, seen it on 61 today, that should really be the last to go after the work that went into getting it back on the road late last year.

The future's bright, the future's....Yorkshire Tiger!

Still within the Arriva empire, 7651 and 7652 are now Yorkshire Tiger 551 and 552....

Must be pretty decent examples for Arriva to choose these two!
Notice 552 is missing its 'M' Marshall-wings badge, and 551 has a tarnished headlamp.

Still, it's nice to know they've got an extended life, despite that vivid colour.
Their future certainly is bright...

You'd have thought they'd have swapped the headlight out with one from a withdrawn bus.

7669 seems to have disappeared lately, well I haven't seen it in the last couple of weeks anyway. Maybe its getting prepared for the trip then. 7674 lasting a bit longer doesn't surprise me due to the time spent getting it back on the road last year.

Original plan was for a few to go over but it was changed so only 7651 and 7652 went
