would have thought it was more convenient to changeover in the unloading stop, trying to do it at the departure stop with everybody waiting to get on impatiently isn't a good idea!

@Jack6101 Omnilinks aren't noteworthy on the 42/3 it gets a mix of E200/Omnilink/President and the occasional Gemini (not for much longer though)

Thanks for the update - is it planned for the ones going in red/white to be repainted/retrimmed etc in Scotland straight away or as part of a normal rota based on condition?

Hell of a lot of unnecessary mileage there.
Dundee can paint buses as well surely?

Just do them all while you have chance! At least then when they're gone you can't say "I wish I'd done them now".

Go on YW 4089. It's amazing, you won't be disappointed. Here is my video of 4089:

I will second that! 4089 definitely should get preserved in my opinion. I hope to get a last ride in the coming few weeks. Will be very sad to see buses like 4089 go which I have grown up around on the 49  :'(

4023.

I'd second this. 4023 and it's weird gearbox. Sometimes high revving, sometimes not. This bus definitely had character. Fond memories of thraping this one between Perry Barr and Selly Oak (via the A38 tunnels).

4044, best one I've been on
