Whilst 1600/10 have had a lick of paint. I dont think 1601 has yet. As i posted earlier it's lost all branding, But as yet not received a full re-paint.

They are all getting repainted as mentioned on here a few times... A lot of things get mentioned on here, but very little of it actually happens, so confirmation is still needed from actual sightings.

Dont wish to sound pedantic, But look closely at 1600/10 and it looks like fresh paint where the route brandings were. Possibly even a full body repaint. But on 1601 the adhesive residue from the brandings is quite visible, Which suggests it has'nt been repainted. Probably just a good old deep clean.

You might be right, I didn't have the opportunity to check it out that well, just looked for the telltale signs, plus I saw it after dark.

1613 also now fully debranded, Could'nt comment about a repaint though, Did'nt get that close. Today spent an unusually long time on the A62/A644 and noticed most of the Lowlanders i saw were in various stages of branding removal. Most now seem to have lost {Connecting Kirklees} from the side, just displaying it on the front/rear. There seems to be an increase in Commanders and Polaris on daytime workings at the moment, I would assume this is to cover the Lowlanders whilst they are in for debranding.

I dont think theres many left now, With the full branding applied. Most have been partially debranded, Although theres probably only three thats had a full repaint so far.

Pulsar 1451 only lost half of its 126/7 branding
The Darwens are losing their branding I olny saw 1806, 1807, 1810 and 1811 with the 110 branding on all the rest of them with the exception of 1812 have now been debranded.
Commanders 1400, 1402, 1406 and 1408 have also lost their Hemsworth route branding, while 499, 1403, 1404 and 1407 still retained theirs although the Day ticket prices were still showing £4.20
In Dewsbury Enviro200, 1064 found its way into Wakefield on 128 this one had lost its 281-3 route branding.
I think that the recent increase in the Day Tickets has focused the minds since some buses have just lost that roundal. However Castleford based Tempo 1310 did have a revised £4.40 day ticket roundal, I'm sure that was the only £4.40 one I saw.

From my own observations I have the following Enviro 400's rebranded for the 268 so far.
1900 - Little Miss Contrary 1901 - Mr Nosey 1902 - Mr Tall 1903 - Mr Impossible 1904 - 1905 - Little Miss Dotty 1906 - 1907 - Little Miss Tidy 1908 - Little Miss Birthday 1909 - Mr Nonsense 1910 - Mr Messy 1911 - Mr Cheerful 1912 - Little Miss Bossy 1913 -
Can anyone fill in the three blanks, I have it as there should be a Little Miss Scatterbrain and Little Miss Sunshine and an unannounced character if all fourteen are to have new Mr Men.

In Halifax we don't have any more branded buses. They were all de branded last year, the 503,576,590-1-2-3-4 have all been de branded. I can see the point of de branding the 503 & 576 because of the inter working of the two routes, not so with the 590's because I don't think they inter work with any other routes... Unless when Halifax get some new buses they will be re branded along with 503 and 576. :/
I have seen the branded E200's on the 278 quite regulary. Which lowlanders are still holding branding?

I haven't seen 1913 but looks like this could be Miss Sunshine

I haven't seen 1913 but looks like this could be Miss Sunshine 1913 is Little Miss Sunshine and has remained unbranded. surely they're not going to leave 1906 as it is, Mr Happy is really faded and let's the rest of the batch down.
