Following an RTC yesterday morning, 3808 will be getting repainted into the new livery, and the other Pulsars at Hinckley will subsequently follow.

3300 is also currently being repainted.

More duff information - 3808 has returned, currently sat in Leicester depot and still in Sapphire livery. 

3300 is also currently being repainted.

3300 returned on Friday, 4529 has gone for repaint in its place.

Some of the MMCs will be off to Yorkshire to replace the Lowlanders, as 4416-4425 were originally planned to. Others are expected to move to Kent to replace the ALX400s after they decided they didn't want any more B9TLs.

This post is a little strange as nothing has been planned to move to Yorkshire as part of these cascades, and the Volvo B9TLs were staying in Leicester all along.

2535 is in from Derby, 2573 has moved on to Hinckley, as has 2209.

Has 2499 moved to Shrewsbury?

Extras for the Lichfield Bower

A draft combined numbering of the Midlands/Shires fleets had been completed some time ago, but not yet implemented. I'm sure if and when the needs of the business deem it necessary it will be done, as its not as simple a task as changing the labels on the exteriors of buses!

VDL 4772 is the first Leicester vehicle to gain the new Arriva livery. Picture off a Facebook group and not mine

4747 is also at Thurmaston in the new livery.

2990 on loan at Hinckley

Have you seen it?

I would have thought the Darts are for the 35. What is running on the 35?

I gather most of the 35's have been the SB120's

Is this just a temporary utter downgrade or permanent?

I assume the MPDs are there as the Scanias have gone to Oswestry but the Pulsars are in for refurb before they arrive.

2705 is due to be withdrawn.

Same batch but these two are better!

Should be 3805 and 3806

Still no sign of any more SB200s.......

Should be two at the weekend.....
