37432 and 37451 is currently in the process of receiving the LeedsCity Green livery. It looks like the Ex-Manchester B9s are to receive the LeedsCity Green livery before entering service.
It also appears that the Ex-Hunslet B9s have all gained the Elland Lines route branding with the Ex-Bramley's/Huddersfield's 33886 and 33888 receiving it as well. It just a basic sticker at placed at the top to cover the First logo, applied to both Olympia and Olympia-Urban so far.

Apparently going to be applied to 33890 at some point stated by someone on this forum, whether that means in hybrid olympia or HD Connect livery

69564 has HD Connect livery but also has its poles painted dark blue. The Eclipse 2s went through an interior refurbishment back in 2021.

35529, 35556 and 35537 now all repainted into LeedsCity Green. Haven't they always been green ? These three recently carried all over advertisements and have just been repainted upon removal of the vinyls.

35529, 35556 and 35537 now all repainted into LeedsCity Green. Haven't they always been green ? No. They were previously in LeedsCity Blue with overall wraps that damaged the paintwork. All 3 of them have an almost full repaint with the front panel and headlights not painted.

I wonder when and where the remaining James Street's B7RLEs would go.

But I was referring to the remaining 57-plates. There are rumours that they would go going to scrap and 2 might be retained to replace the 54-plate examples for Driver Training.

Personally I don’t draw much of a distinction between Olympia and what people are calling Olympia Urban
I wouldn’t look at an olympia bus in Halifax and think it is in an old livery that quickly needs repainting, whereas I would do that if I saw an olympia bus in Huddersfield or Leeds

It is strange that Halifax, Huddersfield and Leeds have a regular repaint programme, with buses going for paint most weeks, but Bradford only seems to get a repaint very occasionally

Also a bit of a silly decision was repainting one of their euro 4 vehicles.
