Looks like the three First Leeds Scanias that weren't upgraded for DDA, 60065/60217 & 61032 have joined this fleet. Not 100% yet about 60065 but the other two have.

May only be a rumour from a good source but 60217 & 61032 may have been bought & gone to a company called Excelsior but don't know where this company is based, Dinnington or Bournemouth perhaps? Has it been reported that HCT have them?

Another heritage livery in this fleet is OmniCity 9936UB which is in the livery of Harrogate Independent Travel who traded as Challenger around 30 years ago. Basically it's just had blue skirt panels added to the all white base colour along with the Harrogate Independent Travel name under the windows.
Don't think it's been mentioned that Scania L94 T563BSS (ex First 60217) is painted and in service, think this has probably been done a month or two but first time I've seen it. This of course now joins it's sister T562BSS in this fleet.
