I hope the commanders should get painted next personally. I believe there's a commander in the not the old livery, but the livery before it! I think that super old livery is out at Selby. If there's one at Wakefield too I wouldn't be surprised. Most of the frequenta branded buses that have scrapped 148/149 still say 'up to every 10 minutes' 1408 is in the Old Old livery, based at Selby.

1703 is now in the new Arriva blue livery. Looked like a fresh repaint to me unless I’ve missed it being done previously.

Selby 1612 got one on too I'd have thought Selby would have put theirs on an Olympus or Gemini Yeah Wakefield's is on an Olympus (EEH) I wonder if Castleford is getting one (if so it would obviously be on a 400MMC (probably NLG))

Cas on the other hand i don't know as a good proportion of the e400MMCs have ads for Availablecar like 1928 (and ?1921) have at Dewsbury yet Wakey & Hecky which serve Morley & Tingley don't have the ads

Not a repaint but rather a de-brand. 1717 seems to have had the 444 branding removed.
Perhaps this is to make allocation easier?
Always thought it was a bit odd that a service specific brand was applied to those vehicles in the first place, given the MAX brand and that style had been discontinued.

Always thought it was a bit odd that a service specific brand was applied to those vehicles in the first place, given the MAX brand and that style had been discontinued. i think its down to a few reasons: a) the 444 frequency is been reduced, b) it didnt make sense to have them branded for 444 when some of that service interworks with 446 and c) the majority of the hybrids can end up on other routes e.g. 110, 117, 118, 148/149/496, 147/195/196 425/427 & X32

The frequenta brand got removed as well I presume for the same reason. As the 148/149 interworks with the 496 now.

Could be months yet before anything changes.

Think most of the MAX hybrids are getting debranded. My thoughts are that they will do them in a new 202/203 style livery.

Anyone know if Dewsbury’s 1550 has gone to the paint shop - not seen it around for a while and on the tracker , it’s not been in service since 8 feb ( but this could be wrong as it says 1551 also not been used since mid feb )

It could have been 1523 which is in the old Max Spare branding
