The livery has never been Acquamarine & White.

I am reliably informed that a refurbishment program has commenced on the Commanders at Belle Isle. 1400 is currently away and 1401 was ready to depart earlier today. Not sure of what type of refurbishment it will be and the location where they are being done is currently unknown. Penfold They're being done at Thorntons, near Ashington in Northumberland.

That makes sense as Selby's two solos are waiting for a slot at Bus & Coach for painting

Unidentified Commander seen in South Leeds this morning operating either 117 or 217. Dark aquamarine in colour. Very shallow darker blue skirt. No sandstone horns. White Arriva transfers on exterior above drivers cab. Could this be an unbranded "Frequenta"?

I'll never understand why they let 495-8 go to ASW when there were many older vehicles in the fleet at the time.

Do they ever do repaints at Belle Isle still? I remember 1986-89 when Arriva Yorkshire's predecessor was repainting into the Caldaire Chevron/Upswept band livery for the first time. There were umpteen minor variations of the livery depending on where they had been done. Belle Isle/Dewsbury or Chorley.

I believe all repainting of vehicles is outsourced now and has been for a few years

I believe 499 is an early candidate for withdrawal but as per normal I wont hold my breath. Fully DDA (or whatever) it may surprise !. I too never understood why 499 was the only one that remained at BI. I heard that they were due for a short term loan but seemed funny that they had a full refurb before they left BI and shortly after, ASW sold out to McGills ! Penfold
