There was quite a mix of vehicles on the 5 yesterday apart from 2702, I also saw a Centro, a Streetlite and a couple of 59 plate Pulsars but none of the 63 plate branded Pulsars. Another oddity was the positioning of the 'Connecting Telford' strapline.  On at least one it was underneath the windows and towards the front.  Sorry can't give fleet nos as I was driving.
The branded pulsars are slowly starting to be debranded and painted into the new Arriva livery.  Centro's and Streetlites do often make it onto the 5 so not unusual to see them on the route.

Centros and more recently Streetlites do make it on to the 5, but that is normally at weekends. During the week it is unusual to see anything other than a 59 reg or 63 reg pulsar on the 5.

Mainly the newly repainted ones, including 3753, 3755, and the repainted 63 plates. Looks so tacky how they've done it. Not even been retrimmed on the 59 plates and no USB charging apart from 3751 and 3752

2702 working the 113/4/5/6 circuit today. Usually in the hands of a solo or E200.

Hi, best bet if strays out will be the 53 Ellesmere but but always possible on the 70/70A but not been common this year. 4803 spent the day on 53 last Saturday.

Saw that myself, did look out of place. The reason will be heavy congestion in Shrewsbury last few days in getting around Abbey Foregate and up Wyle Cop due to Castle Walls been closed, X4/X5 running at times 20 to 30 minutes late. Yesterday 2976 got placed onto the 436 for the very same reason with 3695 getting very late in due to traffic.

3756 YJ61 FEF appeared on the 70 Oswestry - Shrewsbury by late afternoon today after going on the Wrexham services first thing, must say VDL SB200, Wright Pulsars are much more preferable on the 70/70A over Versas and Scanias!
