Centrebus have a pair too - I wonder if Peddle associated companies have the whole batch?

T18 TYB and T22 TYB noted at Centrebus' Leicester depot, in the last week, both freshly repainted into company livery.

4752 in its new guise (not my pictures, only linking to them):

Very smart indeed.

Versa 2979 noted in service in Leicester, on routes 58 / 58A, yesterday (13/12/2018). Not sure how long it has been here.

Versa 2990 seems to be rigidly sticking to routes 86 / 87 since its repaint.

YX12 AON, latterly D&G fleet number 2, was noted parked at Centrebus' Wenlock Way depot, in Leicester, on 20/09/2018.

66323 was carted off for scrap, by PVS, today (13/09/2018). It was withdrawn following fire damage.

63104 and 63105 are now back in Leicester repainted.

StreetLite SN65 OLW is currently on loan to the company, covering for a defective sister vehicle. Snapped here, in Charles Street, on. 28/08/2018: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DlwKVa3XoAEyvb9.jpg

63103 has returned from Bus & Coach World, in Blackburn, following repaint.

63104 is currently away in Blackburn for repaint.

66973 has returned to Leicester following repaint and is now branded for 'Glenfield & New Parks', similar to sister 66972.

Solo 2402 was noted working Wigston depot's route 44 on 03/08/2018.

Some pictures of 63102 snapped in Charles Street, Leicester, on 03/08/2018, by me are in the links below:

Did any of the RLE's get an interior refresh as well?

Some have been received fresh seating moquette but that's about it.

63102 has returned from its repaint at Bus & Coach World in Blackburn. It now features a split fuchsia coloured front end and graphics for, 'Leicester Unlimited - £50 a Month'. 63103 is currently away in Blackburn for similar treatment.

Volvo B7TLs 4018 & 4026 were both noted working on Thurmaston routes on 20/07/2018. 4018 was on route 104 whereas 4026 was on route 127.

35186 is also on loan to Slough.

66972 has now been repainted and gained route branding previously carried by StreetLites 63356 & 63357. Picture here. taken on 18/07/2018, on Charles Street: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DiddjANW0AAtq_W.jpg

The painting of 66972 leaves just 32644, 32645 and 66973 in the old First livery.

Not my picture but a nice capture of Leicester's 35190 on loan to Slough: https://www.flickr.com/photos/londonbuses24/42767567234/

Not sure what this has to do with Carousel?

Are you not? Don't sweat it petal.

Sapphire 4208 was noted at work on route X84 on 19/06/2018. Pity more effort wasn't made to get it allocated to routes 31 / 31A in light of Wigston losing Sapphire E400MMCs. Poor allocation over the last couple of days has seen 4503 (50/51 branded), 4011 & 4028 on the route, amongst others. Still, service delivery has never been Wigston depot's strong point.

StreetLite DRZ 9713 is once again in service in Leicester, as fleet number 63180. This time it's in allover white though. It's a loan vehicle for cover for StreetDeck 35185, which is off with an engine fault. 63180 is confined to route 17 due to its peculiar destination equipment.
