The thing is, vehicle shortages are shortages, and comprimises have to be made. Yes, the 142/3 should be 100% Magic Bus, but in reality it isn't always possible. And at the moment, there is no way they can add to the fleet as doing so would require taking buses out of service for repaints, and anyway there is a limit to how many more buses are left before it means that Enviro400s have to be repainted. Although, if the JPT takeover goes ahead, it is probable that the B7s and Tridents will be transferred for Magic Bus services.
