1403 and 1405 are the last commanders that need doing now I think. Currently on 1404 fully refurbished with the charge points. The nexus solos definitely still in red and black for now. There's at least one pulsar repainted but it seems they're waiting on making a start on the darwens until last. Be interesting what happens as 148/9 runs are overwhelmed with spectras even now

Seen Gemini 1531 in Pontefract bus station this morning working a 410 to Leeds. I saw one on this route on the August Bank Holiday. As they should be needed for routes 163 & !66, seeing one here on a weekday is more surprising.

New buses and some refurbishments are now in a similar style to MAX. What I wonder most is whether any more Arriva routes anywhere will go Sapphire? I doubt any in Yorkshire will as route 110 is described as The Grandest Yorkshire Connection.

I reckon new doubles at hecky for the 268 freeing up the current 58 regs, but I think hecky may just replace the 52 reg pile of poo they got from Leicester , so it'll prob be some second hand Gemins from London
