Presumably until the new Streetlites arrive. Some of these may actually be compliant?

One of the BBC H+W photos when the went on the bus the other day was obviously taken on board 30637 as it has a First Group notice by the driver not to go past etc.

Yes, which is why the First corporate sticker behind the driver's cab is very noticeable. Perhaps it was in stock at Kidderminster garage and 30637 needed one. Its definitely a First Group sticker and definitely on 30637.

That's the photo from BBC Hereford and Worcester Facebook. Above the man sitting at the front you can see the Diamond Notices and just above those a little sticker in First Group purple and pink

One B7RLE has the First spec "no smoking" notices on as well, think one bus has the trapping risk triangle sign on below a window, possibly an Enviro. There's an ex Zak's with a WMT spec buggy zone notice as well!
