for example on the 60 to cranes park x2-3 trips on a single route.

  But as a rota how many "rounds" can you do?

So I only know about the routes I do and only for late nights tbh. Most routes are either 2 trips at once or 2.5 trips, 14 has a Sunday duty which is 3, 45/47 has a duty where there is 3 trips to Longbridge on weekdays.

Yes, Tony said on the buses on lean thread

Seen a photo on discord of 6861 in the new livery, looks just as good on this bus as it does on 6717

Of course it would look the same. It's the same livery on the same bus type.

This had 23/24 Harborne branding when it went away for accident damage repairs months ago and way before BC debranded all its platinums. Strange why during its time off the road, it was debranded, had the newer style 'extra legroom' etc branding applied, only for it to then receive a full repaint.

I'm guessing that the original plan was just a lower/partial repaint and that changed as work was maybe more extensive.

While 6867 looks really good, the mismatch of legacy platinum, red diamond style, plain platinum, red sticker platinum, crimson, red and white national express, two tone grey and one tone grey liveries/branding is jarring and frustratingly inconsistent

I'm sure once the older buses are scrapped, repaints are done and new buses are ordered, we'll see more consistency, but it is a bug bear at the moment

At least there all better than Stagecoach's pre blue.
