Is 2277 still rolling around?

I've certainly noted it as still being active within the last month. It stands out like a sore thumb with no Arriva logos on the front.

4418 has been repainted.

3702 - FD52 GGP and 3927 - KE05 FMM were both noted at work in Leicester, on 28/05/2019, operating Wigston depot routes; the former on route 49, without a working front destination display, and the latter on routes 31/31A/31E.

On 30/05/2019, both 4422 and 4757 were observed at work, in Leicester, repainted.

4419 has been repainted. It is on the 44/A today.

4423 has been repainted which just leaves 4425 from the batch outstanding.

A few updates from what I saw on Monday 8th July:

I saw both Streetlite 3317 and E200 3110 on the 85 at around quarter to 6 in the evening. 3316 has returned to Thurmaston and seems to be a regular on the 53 again. 3315 and 3318 also remain at Wigston. 4204 has also scored a huge own goal, having an ad promoting availablecar.com applied to the entire rear. Optare Versa 2957 was also on the 5 despite being branded for the 58 and 58A along with 53-branded Pulsar 3811 on the 55. Finally when I was waiting to go home I saw a repainted 4425 which means all of the 64-plate E400s are in the new livery, 4422 being on the 49 that day as well.

I imagine it'll only be a matter of time before they start repainting the MMCs, 4501-4535. They should really do that to 4520 with that dark blue front face and number plate bumper.

Today marks 10 years since the Southgates depot closed.

Where are the majority of the DB250s? Somehow, despite 3 Pulsars and a Streetlite on the 104, a Versa on the 5/5A and another on the 127, somehow not one DB250 on the 29/29A at their usual times. What's going on?

Some are on Drayton Manor route & Twycross Zoo till next month

So it's unlikely the 29/29A will get one in the day again until then? Great...

Yesterday (17/07/19), 3717 made a rare appearance on the 5/A. How it didn't break down was beyond me. Also, knowing that the DB250s are on the DM and TZ routes is good, as I may go with Arriva to one or the other soon.

#313
They can't be on the TZ1 route since it follows the 158 route to Nuneaton even if 4773 and 4523 have been photographed there.

4533 is the first MMC in the new livery.
4771 was on the 53, along with 3807
4747 was on the 58/A today as well.
An E200MMC made an appearance on the X84, with a B7TL on the X3.
