2714 ran on the 352/395 today with a major scrape on the top where saints branding would go like its hit something eg a bus or lorry also its had all adverts removed i assume this is soon to be repainted?

679 is still here but looks like its going into the paint shop so it could be a possability for p+p and stuff for the 300 wythenshaw are doing.
Does this route have a route branding before arriva done it.

As far as I can remember Motormayhem yes 300 has had route branding in the past, original vehicles when council operated it were route branded Enviro 200s which got transferred to Bluebird when they took it over (think they eventually painted them into their livery or got rid) I know when Stagecoach had it until recently they were using ex Prestonbus Solos that were in Stagecoach livery but with branding for the route

RE: Arriva St Helens Paint Shop & Repair Centre
i guess thats why its here then,to get repainted and some kind of branding for the route.

Maybe it has been sold for spares.

they have only just fixed a new window in about 3 weeks ago and still had its ticket machine and o licence fitted to it when getting towed out so i doubt they would sell it with them still fitted.
