No sign of any ex-Wessex Bus vehicles over the last few days. Various vehicles appear to have been drafted in to cover including 18313 which was broken down at Bristol Parkway, 27778 on the 3B and a surprise spot of ex-Midlands 36175 at Cribbs Causeway on the 625.

The ex Wessex buses are probably being repainted at wherever Stagecoach West do their repainting work.
Don't judge me until you've walked in my size ten shoes.

I've seen it reported that they are "auditing" the vehicles, probably deciding whether on not they need scrapping - the answer to that should be yes...
It'll probably be a case of getting them up to a better standard mechanically, then a repaint as you've said, then the grand return.

I hope they have a large Engineering budget!

Saw Alexander bodied Olympian R 175 VPU still in Stagecoach livery with Stagecoach fleetnames removed but still visible heading down Gloucester Road through Filton about 4.00 today. Who is operating this bus now?

Which ex Wessex buses have actually passed to Stagecoach?
