North West buses undergoing refurbishment have started coming back with new interior signage stickers such as the ‘There’s no excuse for abuse’ and ‘welcome aboard’. Unusually for Arriva, they’re a huge step away from blue hues and are actually a vibrant pink and purple similar to how Firstbus treated their ‘Olympia’ refurbishments, and I must admit it’s a refreshing change from the rather cold and sterile black leather seats, grey floors and mild
Blues

Can I get an update on the current status of buses in the centre and whether 3139 (MX12 KVP) is still in the engineering academy? Haven't heard from that bus in a while

should be 4569 in there too unless that’s done now

Do we know how long it will take them to fix 4621? Looking at Echo website the damage doesn't seem that bad and seems confined to the area where the doors are.
