I guess that it is quicker and easier to outsource the job than do it in house, to free up space and availability to resolve less major issues on other vehicles.
4510 has had a wrap applied for the 100th anniversary of the Royal British Legion as confirmed by Arriva's Twitter.

It does mention that it's also been applied to a few other buses, not just 4510.
4527 is back from repaint and is out today minus hybrid branding, still says Cross river on the windscreen too. 4519 has gone for paint.

2631 is back now fitted with 2543s engine, 2543 is also back and will be making a one way trip to Barnsley soon.

I caught up with 4527 yesterday, it looks good! The seats have also had some attention, with the headrests now in a lighter blue ELeather which reminds me of the MAX interior scheme.
4507 is back from P&P. Complete with full hybrid graphics like 4510, plus new Crossriver branding. It has been decided not to ditch the Crossriver brand afterall. The logo remains unchanged.
Does anyone have the current position regarding the Hybrid refurb please?
I know bustimes can't be totally relied on but it appears 2161 & 2164 are on the 409 today.....
seems a regular thing lately,2161 and 2163 were on there on Friday.

Knew 2162/3 were over here as I've managed to get shots of both but 2161/4 must be very recent moves ....
4418 towed back to the depot yet again this evening.
