Apparently all the 07 reg B7RLEs that were the launch Spot On buses in Blackburn are going to be returned off lease in early 2014, this includes those with York as well as the ones in Burnley and Blackburn.
What are people's opinions of this? It seems the X reg B10BLEs are going to be drafted back in and surplus Versas are going into use in Blackburn, this is unless they've got something else up their sleeves.

Makes a lot of sense as they've got a surplus of vehicles people won't notice the age difference with what may work out cheaper than hiring newer vehicles.

Seems an odd decision to repaint some of them if they are soon to be going

Lease terms typically require vehicles to be returned in a specific condition and a late in the day repaint is not unusual in those circumstances (paintwork condition rather than livery seemingly being the material issue). On the subject of repaints Harrogates B10BLEs 307 and 1093 are now in the red/black livery.

They also have 1825 as well. Due to a PVR increase, the 662 now runs at least every 10 mins at all times, previously the frequency was spaced out a tad at peak times

The 662s now typically have around 20 minutes layover at peak times so there are usually 3 buses at any one time laying over at either end of the route

The B7s moving across Lancashire to Rossendale are apparently 1816, 1822, 1824, 1826, 1829, 1830, 1832, 1835 and 1836, some of which Transdev are still using.

2764 is readily identfiable from 2763 as it has a white,not yellow, front display which is not as clear.
