How are the repaints going, there can't be too many left now can there? Are the Cobalt Clippers next in line?

So what's happening with the Connections4 citaros? They were due their 4 year warranty repaint last September/October. Have they not gone for repaint for a reason?

I'd like to think the Cobalt Clippers will get repainted but as for them and the Fab 56, if the genuine opportunity of a good cascade plan came about either within GNE or EYMS, these routed would be a likely target to get replaced with Metrodeckers or Streetdecks as 6085-6117 although are good buses, could be considered as 'heavy' for the work that they currently do. |

The Cobalt Clipper repaints should hopefully start in the next few weeks, having been delayed over the summer by the London cascades that needed to be prepared for September. The B9TLs are going nowhere for a few more years yet. |

I would imagine these will replace 2 of 6010, 6017, 6033?, almost getting rid of the V-reg presidents, then i would think, when the rest arrive they'll replace the 2002 presidents from East Yorkshire and most of the ex London Presidents... unless more contracts are won.
Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.
