York 37253, Chocolate Story advert is currently at HP for advert removal and repaint.
The long Solo due to be allocated to HP, believed to be 53302 is undergoing MOT and is due to be painted in normal livery before entering service. (Thanks to Andy (via Kev!) for the info)

I thought 53302 was owned by metro Not totally sure what the ownership situation is with these but I would assume First now own them, or at least this one in view of the fact it's being painted in their livery. I understand it's planned to be used on City Bus when required and should stop the almost continuous borrowing of a B6 from Bramley. Any bets for it turning up on a peak hour 1?

I'm not sure Metro own any of the MetroConnect vehicles. I think they provide some sort of finance arrangement and rules that they should move to the new operator if the tender changes, but I think ultimate ownership lies with the operator.

Does make u wonder if west yorkshire is gonna do something different with anything. No unique liveries, no heritage liveries, no huge marketing, no diff style vehicles. Just all one boring fleet with the odd x84 branded buses.

Im glad id finished my tea, before i saw that photo of First Aberdeen's "platinum" livery. Any bus company that runs around with black painted rear ends is taking a massive gamble in these "Where there's blame, There's a claim" times we live in. Cue the scenario, foggy morning, taxi driver (with the usual axe to grind), parked bus= Bang. Easy money. Notwithstanding that, First's Platinum looks like a poor imitation of Arriva's superb "sapphire" livery.
