If they do this open top 15 service again next year they could do with operating the vehicle in a suitable livery , not a differing open top every week in differing liveries .

What do you regard, as being a suitable livery ?, then again would stagecoach, arriva or anybody else, be willing to spend about £2,000 to repaint a bus that only going to see a couple weeks use.

I would say get it into some sort of stagecoach corporate livery not a debranded city sightseeing livery with small stagecoach branding put on as an after thought .

There is a reason that recent OT arrivals have been in green, and the existing ones havn't had full branding applied, but I'm not at liberty to say what, save that the green is now the 'correct' colour.
