No i didnt manage to get any pictures as they was still there doing them. I'm guessing three will be out tomorrow on the 82/87 though unless they take them to the top yard tonight

4744 is one of them. It is now parked up at the top yard so will be out monday. All have been given names too

I'm assuming it will be the same names they all had before they were repainted.

I'd imagine they'll be new names; since the last names belonged to loved ones/relatives of YW drivers, etc... Suppose I could be wrong, but it's a valid reason, surely.  ???

The pink branding actually works well with the Crimson paintwork ,much better than previous effort, looks very tidy indeed.

Seen one in Tividale earlier, must agree does look the part.

Hopefully the new branding means that we will see an end to the Geminis creeping onto these routes. I thought the whole point of them transferring was to make the 82/87 100% Enviro  ???
