Will 732 be joining 733/4 at acocks green? Are there plans to crimson them or take them back to Dundee in green?

No, AG only need 2, no plans for repaint hence 734 getting a new red front

Dundee minibus PVR drops from 2 to 1 (or 3 on weekend evenings) at the end of the month, so there is no need for them to come back

4680 has reverted to green lining & stripe, whilst Hybrids 5429/30 have those in gold (which looks much better)

I disagree with you - the green looks better on the Xplore Dundee livery - a bright contrast to the darker greens of the main livery - the after view of 731 (especially with the graduated green on the cove panels) looks great.

So it looks like it's Emerald, rather than Platinum in Dundee! Will we see a funky new green variation of the livery. Maybe a nice metallic looking green? And Fleetnumbers? Following on from Platinums? Maybe preceding them? 66**?

Tony has confirmed the fleetnumbers a few weeks ago on the Dundee Forum, they will be 6687-6700 (14) due Autumn

Thanks Winston! Surprised no one mentioned it on here.

With regards to livery. I've just seen a cartoon version on XD's Facebook page. I can't work out if the front of the bus and swoop is gold or the usual green.

I'd imagine the livery would be the same but instead of the red bits, it's green?

The livery is standard style, but two much lighter shades of green

731-732 officially withdrawn from service.

Read on the Dundee forum that 731 and 732 are now withdrawn and that 731 never entered service in the green Xplore Dundee livery.

No you don't. They have the horrible Urban 90 seats.

JIM C · August 06, 2018, 11:33:52 PM

According to the local press National Express have sold the depot, and are leasing it back meantime.
