I don't think I saw that one! It was in the corner of the yard to the rear of the garage to the right of 707 and a couple down from 423, the one being cannibalised.

They might not have the correct facilities to paint buses at other Depot's.

The bumper on 722 looks a bit strange! Maybe they are experimenting on what looks best. I know that Arriva Midlands Spectras have the grill on the front painted as well. kevin-smith.fotopic.net/p45262737.html

I actually thought Arriva Yorkshire West buses were done in the paint shop building at Saville Town {Dewsbury} Garage.

Heckmondwike now have stickers on the bus sayng something like 'your bus has had a spring clean, new fresh smell, new signage, new customer information section'! I hope the scheme is rolled out across all Arriva Depots as Heckmondwike's fleet are looking much better with the changes. Also gotta say am loving the repainted Presidents. So much better in Interurban Livery. One dissapointment is the Castleford ALX400s. They look an absolute disgrace and even the ones in Interurban could do with an other repaint, or better still, get them out of the Arriva Yorkshire fleet!
