Spotted that a few times recently (including Saturday). Surprised Stagecoach haven't replaced it when it was re-painted.

Sounds like an electrical/alternator issue rather than a blind problem.

Major fluctuations in voltage supplied to the blind causing it to reset/go into test mode sounds likely, especially with the flickering lights as well.

That is true but they have been School Buses at Middleton for some time now so decided not include them in the list as they are not recent Magic Buses

If it was an Enviro400 then it would have been 10427 SL64 JCO

They are actually overall blue, with none of the Magic Bus yellow markings. 16798 was still at Middleton yesterday.
