What all over green, wouldn't really call it a livery just a coat of paint.

Better than travel express though I guess

I would call it a livery, based on the ye olde duck test..If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

97% of operators are better than Travel Express

One could say the same about any 1 colour livery, FGW, Diamond, Black Diamond, Midland Red, TfL buses and Western Greyhound (last livery). But it is a livery and identity that isn't uno's so I wouldn't knock it to much.
Midland Red West, one of the best Companies to serve Redditch, with some of the best buses.

Yes but half of those are recognisable a layer of green paint, IMO isn't really recognisable what with smaller operators not having a livery. Although fair play for having the company names applied.

Ex WG and GAL cadets going dirt cheap at Stafford bus centre?
I don't know about these DAFs, but the stuff which came from Western Greyhound that Ensign were selling was cheap for good reason. They were absolutely battered to sh*t, probably cosmetically the worst bunch of buses I have ever seen.

Rode LF52TKJ today 1200 from Chelmsey wood

really nice ride 10/10

@Steveminor does secondary doors work on all 4 cadets or is it just front ones?

That has been the main issue with them. None of the doors worked when they arrived & neither did the ramps. That is being fixed & all will work before entering service.
Since the wheel chair bay is by the Centre doors they must work to be dda compliant.

part of the same group sunny social &discount travel sunny in
One yard social & discount in the other @Steveminor  would be best to ask

Steveminor

Kind of same group but they are separate companies. Sunny travel owned by 2 brothers. One brother also owns discount travel the other owns social travel. Everything is kept separate though & if a bus changes from one to another it is legitimately purchased not just swapped liveries.
Hope that clears things up

And where do you fit in with respect to the 3 companies, Steve?
