The thread title is probably not relevant for this piece of news but I've used it for convenience.
Apparantly, according to paint shop staff at Hunslet Park no further examples of the ex-York artics are going to be repainted leaving just 10038/42 as the only ones done.
Not sure what's happening but will try and find out unless anybody else knows more on this.

these mercedes Benz artics are very nice buses to ride on. seem to have some power too. Maybe first west yorkshire could consider upgrading the number 1 Brown line to these. Getting rid of the rubbish volvo bendies that we have at the moment.

Maybe if we kept them in the state that Manchester's are in they wouldnt be so rubish.
What gets me is, the Manchester ones were on the 8 route (which is about 20 miles each way) for about 8 years, and yet look newer than ours which are up and down Otley Road all day.

Manchester refurbished theirs before they were transferred to Bolton from Bury when they got their new Scania artics for the 135.

Yeah but what i am on about jack is the state of the outside. Manchester’s don’t look, to be quite frank, knackered like ours.
It’s about time that First got out of this Budget for each bus thing and forked about a few quid to make these look presentable.

Seems now that the remainder will eventually be done but not in any hurry to complete them.
