It has a simplified livery compared to recent repaints. Even the new PrestonBus livery is nicer than this.

It’s just a base livery until vinyls are applied. All the repaints are done the same.
Yesterday evening the 20.15 departure from Stockport of route 197 had a destination display alternate between Manchester and Bus full / social distancing, even though there were no passengers on board.

Today there have been at least 2 Streetlites on Stockport routes. I rode 32301 on route 197 and saw 32302 on route 382. These started out in Preston.
Streetdecks 40721 MX20 HVG and 40722 MX20 HVH are in service today.

I believe it is 12 now, 50 later this year and 66 next May, postponed from December. IIRC it was on this thread but a few weeks ago now.

Thanks for the confirmation I thought it was 12 vehicles the first batch I also assuming a lot of vehicles at Bolton will be freed up not just the First B7RLEs unless Bolton are that short of vehicles
