Red/white is awful. The red fades so quickly, just look at Perry Barr's remaining five red/white Omnilinks. 2013/4/5 red/white repaints are slowly turning orange, especially in the bright sun.

Red/White looked smart when it was newly repainted, but terrible after it had been left for a while.

Good idea.

Still wouldve made a good standard livery personally.

NXWM has very good liveries, so all of them make good standard liveries!

How does this work?  thanks

@Adam 404  Where do you get this data from?

It'll look even better next week when the livery is finished

Not finished yet?

And thanks from me for posting that.  All clarified now.  Now we wait to see whose Dart/Pointers will be replaced by the ex 48 E200s.

I hear most of Kettering's and Corby's Darts will go.

Had it Saturday on my HInckley Cov, was very nice actually, very similar to 39696 but revs much higher and absolute flies on hills, very very good bus!!

I absolutely agree, only been on it once on route 1

Four E200s have moved from Northampton to Rugby, 37065 to 37068 inclusive. All of the Monday to Saturday D1/D2 is Rugby worked, the D3 remains worked by Northampton. All the D2/D3 on a Sunday is worked by Northampton. Some of the short journeys on the D4 to Timken Estate are worked by Northampton off the D3, the rest of the D4 is worked by Rugby (as was the case when it was previously the 11). 34627 is currently acting as repaint cover.

Thanks for that info @Mids buses  I didnt think any of the 3706* E200s had moved.

From the start of this week, Rugby's 10 and 12 (Rugby - Daventry) have been combined with Northampton's D1 and D2 (Northampton - Daventry) to provide a through Rugby - Northampton service numbered D1 and D2.  Northampton's D3 service to Daventry via the villages is unchanged.  Rugby's service 11, Long Buckby to Daventry, is now D4.
D1 and D2 are now operated by Rugby which brings Rugby's Dart/Pointers to Northampton on a regular basis.  They include examples such as 34592 which, several years ago, was branded for the Daventry Darts.

Some Northampton E200s have presumably been moved to Rugby, probably those branded for the Daventry services.  Confirmation from the Warwickshire Stagecoach experts would be very welcome.

@DeanM66A no E200s have gone to Rugby, they are using ex-Warwick E200s and Darts.

39698 isnt that bad @bensweeney14

How many Gemini's will go into training livery?

thanks a lot @John

Gemini seen on the X12 in early October 2017.  Thanks
