35153 (SN65 OKE) has been repainted into the Frequent Fourteen's livery.

According to bustimes 35170 returned to service today (having not been out since July), on service 74 & 13.
Did anyone see if it's been rebranded from Google, back to spare, or is it still in the all over advertisement?

Still with its all-over Google advertisement. Saw it on the 74 at 14:00.

35176 (SK16 GUJ) and 35177 (SK16 GUO) have both been debranded from the 22 and now carry branding that promotes the tap on tap off scheme.
35172/3/4/5 have all been given revised 22 branding showing the combined frequency with Centrebus.

The routes and vehicles are being split between Thurmaston and Hinckley.

After overhearing a conversation between two drivers during a changeover today, it sounds like many drivers are incredibly unhappy about the change, with many deciding to hand their notice in or even move to First. A major reason seems to be the added mileage to get to Thurmaston/Hinckley.

It appears that Wigston will be no more from October, with the buses moving to Thurmaston.

It is expected that the depot is being repurposed to form housing.

35170 (SK16 GUC) has received an overall advert, which is orange, for google.

63102 (SM13 NCC) and 63103 (SM13 NCD) both have transferred to Adderley Green.

35170 (SK16 GUC) has been stripped of its branding for the 22.

32646 (KP54 AZL) has now entered service in Worcester, still in Leicester City Transport colours.

35174 (SK16 GUG) has reentered service today.

First are back in Devon with passenger services, from, what is expected to be, next month with a service from Exeter to Plymouth via Dartmoor called the Dartmoor Explorer.

Although it isn't technically in Cornwall, it has up until now been part of Kernow.

66317 (KV02 VVU) is now at Worcester, while 63363 (SM65 WMG) is now at Leicester.

Can anyone confirm whether 35174 is sitting in the depot?
I believe I might've seen it sitting upfront of the depot having been repaired.

66320, rather than going to Worcester, has been confirmed as becoming preserved after Leicester is done with it.

4007 and 4008 are both now at Maidstone.
