No, It's in there being debranded, hopefully back on the road soon, hasn't been in service since September 2022, but passed an MoT last Friday

RTC repairs?

Surely NX aren't repainting Crimson buses before all the NXC (blue/white) & NXWM (red/white) have been dealt with.

Saw a Wright Eclipse 2 bus today in NX grey but with a fleetnumber 702 on the back. Not 2002 as that has a red stripe but this one didn't. Heading down Penn Road out of service around 9.00am.
Any ideas?

I believe that's for Oxford bus company.

Single or double deck?

Oxford bus 702 is a double deck Electroliner

There's been an Oxford Bus Wright bodied decker around the Midlands. Seen one on the A45 around Tyseley last week. Didn't catch ID, but it had the green marker on the number plate so was Zero Emission.

It looked like this:
