I think he means the amount of buses going through repaints seems to of slowed down not how fast they move around in the paint shop @The Real 4778

[Tony]

Three of the recent repaints have been out this afternoon for the first time

1907 did a peak 6 board, but is now back in garage
4369 is out on the 2/3
4849 is out on the 7

[Tony]

Two more buses released in the last 24 hours are

1936 to WB

1752 to WA

Hahaha

I wish @The Real 4778 would post more often, your quick wit and humour is very valued.

[Westy]

1751 not touched yet because it has a rear advert for Skeggy on the back or does that not matter?

Im sure I remember Tony saying that it expires end of this month. Not 100% though.

Don't think it does as 4854 had a rear advert only for around a month before it went for repaint.

Whats the livery going to be on the hybrids will it stay the same or will it get redesigned?

A few of us have speculated this already, some, though I can't speak for all, surmise that the new livery may just be crimson, as the locals/commuters would already be familiar enough with the Volvos, that the novelty of advertising that it is a hybrid, has worn off..

I don't know, personally - and I can't see the B5s going into repaint anytime soon; but personally, I'd like to see what they come up with. I have a few ideas in mind..

- Crimson
- Crimson, with "Low Emissions Bus" branding
- Crimson, with Green Branding
- Something similar to XploreDundee, where the green "swoops" are replaced by the standard NX Gold

Of course, all of these are speculations, the interior should prove enough to be acknowledged as a hybrid, as it is. Though, as with anything, time will tell..
