First Leeds Hunslet's Wright StreetDeck 35556 has now lost it's full monty overall wrap, looking very scruffy in LeedsCity Blue. I'm guessing that a full repaint into LeedsCity Green will be pretty soon, just like Bramley's 35266.

Surprisingly, I was wrong. 35556 has now gained a new wrap. It has the Rockstar storms wrap.

As the last few HD Connects are not far away from repaint should start seeing the Yellow BMC school buses being touched up in the paint shop.

Why not focus on the 634s they still need their blue fronts? Or maybe have more City of Bradford repaints as presentation is poor on most of their vehicles with paint peeling off.

I thought it was to deal with DDA laws because some are younger than the 692s at Bradford. the BMCs is a tricky one as they are classed as been able to facilitate a Wheelchair or two but you've got to remove some of the seats first. The 692s although are old and now at withdrawable stage they ARE classed as 100% DDA but some of the side & rear destis are still in flip-dot.

Not a clue why but its a way to waste money so thats First. They were ment to be going in the next 18 months and are starting to look very tatty! Yes they can have the seats removed for wheelchairs as said and they are fully DDA compliant.

Where has this idea that the BMCs are getting repainted come from that everyone is getting worked up about?
Is it factual or just made up to enable a rant ‘knowing First they will…’

Local depot teams happy for it to happen but needed to wait for the okay...

When you say repaint, is it into the same livery or a new one?

No idea on that sorry but I expect they will remain yellow and green First re-paneled BMC is going for the PaintShop tomorrow and Sounds like the colours are going to be the same, looking at it rubbed down you can see the old red And yellow from the previous paint job many moons ago.
