They have indeed, and I believe it has been given the fleet number of 251. Credit where credit is due, Avon have done well to get this out so quickly. As it was only collected from Helms yesterday, so considering they have removed Helms vinyl's, done the destinations, put Avon logo's on the sides and got it out in service the very next day is pretty impressive! However, with this turn around being so quick, I can only assume that they are very low on buses at the minute...
I have seen a 22 branded bus out on the 122 a couple of times recently

Yes that'll be it. I saw it this morning and I wasn't impressed by the livery. I thought that Avon had changed theirs.
I was speaking to A Avon Driver he mentioned Avon have just got newer buses to replace darts does anyone know anything about it he mentioned he thinks they was 10 plates
I'm led to believe there 12 plate Enviro200's

Well that's something abit different
I've heard that Avon have been down to Mistral Bus hire and have bought 2 ex-A2B Travel 12-plate Enviro 200s.
