From what I've seen, they don't seem to bother to keep branded buses on their routes at all. When a bus arrives into garage the night before, and then parked up, it seems to be allocated the next day based on where it's parked. It might also be to do with the fact that there is a vehicle shortage at AG atm. Last few days, there's been drivers waiting in the traffic office simply because nothing is available.

Ever since the arrival of the MMCs, I've noticed they've already been on most routes, is this way of further testing the vehicles ?!

When vehicles arrive back and park up, do they go on designated route lanes or just park up to the nearest lane and towards the front ?!

The Plaxtons are parked in their own little section, everything else is mixed it seems.
