4472 gained the 97 branding when she was repainted into crimson @Hayley1985

I saw 4472 on the return journey to town by the Hunters Moon about 12:45 but got beaten to the quick by @2206

There have been 37 branded buses on the 71/72 all week and to me now it's such a regular occurrence that I don't bother reporting them anymore as 2221 was also on there yesterday as I caught it on the 12:48 from Chipperfield Road heading to town but never bothered until now reporting it @2206. Sorry to sound pedantic about it mate  :)

It's because the mods are now being done on the 71/72 branded ones, so 5 are at Plaxtons at a time, currently 2226/8/9/30/2. 2226/8 will return tomorrow with 2231/3 heading North

I thought there had to be a reason for so many 37 branded MMC's being on the 71/72 this week @Tony so thanks for the clarification  ;) :D
