(30 Dec 2020, 6:53 pm)Malarkey I got on 6054 this afternoon on the 27 and I am not a fan of the Red Seats with the base interior still being Blue mind, I think the should've went with the Navy Blue Moqette they used on the Voltra's, same goes for the QuayCity Versas.

Could've painted over the blue with Grey Paint as they did with the Cobalt & Coast examples.

It's not a refurbishment, it's a 'retrim' and it's too expensive to do with Covid.

The red seats are now standard. If they went for blue (which only appears to be for Voltra) then it would cause issues if the seat needed to be replaced.

Hopefully when finances improve they can fit phone holders and redo the interiors.

Have the road strips crept forward? I’m going to have to do a Flickr search as I thought the road strips were closer to the rear wheels on earlier examples.

I thought this would be best place to bring this up and it hasn't been mentioned in a while. Have the Green Arrow E200s received their cant rail lights yet?

I was going to bring this up the other night.

Not from what I’ve seen. If I remember rightly I’ve only ever noticed one, ages ago.

I do keep seeing a Yutong with only half the green strip lit up front and back.

Great minds! Yes the spare 5498 that was shown off at that show had them installed on delivery.
Not seen any E10s recently so couldn't comment but suprised they've failed already.....might just be a loose connection somewhere

Any news on what next for GNE. They seem to have halted all re-paints.

Have they? Haven’t they just done the E400MMCs in fleet livery, and the one in golden jubilee, and then most recently the new pride Gemini?

Given the rumoured upcoming service changes, may very well be that plans have changed.

I wouldn't be surprised if the 61 became Violet... As for the 20, depends how many will be needed as Prince Bishops after the changes

Quite a lot of the fleet that were painted into the 2016 corporate livery then got this 2019 patch work done look horrendous right now, 5453-5462 are in desperate need of a repaint, I doubt the Solo SR's that have the adapted livery will be repainted neither will the 61XX Omnidekka's/69XX B7 Geminis and 83XX Versa as these will be due for Withdrawal soon.
