Heckmondwike have also started de-branding some of their buses as well
Latest list I am aware of:
Belle Isle: Darwens 1800 and 1815 have lost their 110 branding
Dewsbury: Lowlander 1610 has lost it's 202/3 branding. Commanders 1412-1415 have lost their 126/7 branding although the Pulsars at Belle Isle 140-1453 retain their 126/7 branding yet spend more time in Doncaster than Dewsbury.
Heckmodwike: Eclipse 1112 no longer carrying 254/5 branding.
Spectra 720 has lost its 229 branding but only on the nearside.

I saw 1608 today, it has lost the route places but has still got Connecting Kirklees, could this mean they are going to send them to Heckmondwike and use them on the 229 and just add the 229 route on them?

Likewise 1606 has lost its red stripes down each side but the Connecting Kirklees still remains |

One for Matty, now the 2008 Eclipses at Heckmondwike are being Debranded maybe these would be a better option for the 278 out of Halifax rather than the older B10BLE's from Castleford!

Heckmondwike based Enviro400's 1911 and 1912 have lost their 268 route branding, except for that remaining on the side grills.

They are fast but as an enthusiast they dont have any character To be honest, With the sort of buses you seem to like, You'll probably say that about most modern buses, Would'nt you?. Thats not a criticism by the way, because i do know where you're coming from. I too think by and large, older buses have more character. But i do prefer the comfort and ride quality a new low-floor bus has to offer. |

Been on 1910 this morning and it certainly looks much better without the adornment of branding details.
Unfortunately, the bus could do with a good clean inside and out; the windows are filthy and there's even someone's hand print on the glass at the top of the stairs!
