What livery is it in?

What livery is it in?

I would imagine they are still in Urban 1 (Olympia) being from Greater Manchester. Then they will probably go away for refurb?

[LazyGuy222]

I hope they stay in Olympia tbh. It's a nicer livery, and isn't as in your fact as the current Leicester one.

32644 came out on the 22 for half a journey between Rushey Mead and City Centre.

Doesn't seem rare but the B7TLs hardly ever come out for service on Sundays.
It was subbed with 35172.

66840 came back out for the first time since its accident 5 months ago today, but only until around 10:30. It was on the 88A.

35179 went into the 22 for 2 runs this morning before being replaced by spare 35188.

35179 is branded for the 54, so it's rare and stupid for happening.

69439 has returned to traffic today, on route 18, as the second vehicle repainted into 'The Braunstone Bus' livery.

63106 has gone on loan to Worcester.

A couple of ex Leicester buses on the move. 32064 and 32629 have transferred from Eastern Counties to Essex and are both allocated to Colchester. (Yes, before anyone pipes up, I know 32629 was new to Northampton, but it was later reallocated to Leicester.)

Thanks FireFly, it's helpful to know that it's a loan.

I'm more surprised 32064 is still in service even though it's 19 years old.

Lots of the Ex Leicester batch are. Split between Eastern Counties, Essex, West Yorkshire and West of England

[LazyGuy222]

63108 is entering service today, with it starting in 5 minutes on the 10:30 38A.

[LazyGuy222]

63111-118 and 146 are in the Midlands and East england area, but unallocated to any depot yet.

These transferred alongside 63106/7/8, so they may be for Leicester.

Yes, believe they are for use at Potteries though as they are parked up inside First's Newcastle depot/store.
