Actually I made a Net of a president in the new livery... Its a B7 and i bodged the back but you can get the idea
Great Job, a B7rle up at the Highlands was meant to be getting painted into a special Anniversary Livery but I haven't heard much else about it since it was first mentioned.
In other news this Enviro 300 belongs to Stagecoach in Hull and is the first Enviro 300 I've seen in this version of the Livery. I can't help but feel that an Optare Solo would suit this Livery.

First Scania Enviro 400 too I've seen

Can confirm 21204 is now in a Highland Omnibuses heritage livery based on the former Macbraynes Buses livery and will be making its way to Portree imminently

Thank you for the update! I've been trying to find a pic of the Stagecoach Grimsby B7rle but can't seem to find any.

The Grimsby Wright B7 (21264), hasn't been out in service in it's new colours yet, and I don't know of very many enthusiasts who are depot staff in these parts, so pics will be scarce to non-existent so far.

Spotted a newly repainted Optare Solo the other day. I was on my bike so I didn't get a photo.

The notable thing about this was that they'd left the huge white space on the front where the logo usually goes, but put the logo on the blue section underneath instead...

Ah well their have been different variations. So far on my Travels I've seen a few Enviro 400mmc, Enviro 300, Optare Solo SR and a Plaxton Elite I in the new livery.

Are they going to resurrect the Kyle - Kyleakin ferry for a more authentic experience? :)

Exciting! Can't wait to see as well as waiting to see Grimsby's 21264.

Now that I come to think about it, will any East Lancs Vykings get painted into the new Livery? Any Wright Crusaders as well as I know Stagecoach somewhere down in England had some but not sure if they're still active. Or even Stagecoach Scania Omnidecks the single deckers as some got transferred down to Newcastle from Fife years ago. Can't wait to see Astromegas and Panaramas in the new Livery.

A lot of the Vykings are being withdrawn now, they still have a few so I hope they will be painted. As for the Wright Crusaders, my bet is they are probably long gone and I do believe the Omnicities are gone as well

Yes the Wright Crusaders are long gone. Scania OmniDekkas are gradually being withdrawn from Kettering when they stop working basically, with one left in Barnsley. Probably won't see any of them repainted, but then again Stagecoach seem adamant on repainting Darts and Tridents over Enviros.
East Midlands has always had a very interesting and varied fleet, thanks to RoadCar.

Well here they are painting all the E300s and 200s, but here we don’t have many tridents or darts so that would make sense

That's not too bad but now that I see it, something tells me that this Livery just isn't meant to be on a President.

It's off the road at the moment due to a reduced PVR with the lockdown at Lincoln, as is the repainted B7RLE at Grimsby. Many divisions are taking the opportunity to repaint decommissioned buses that aren't out due to lockdown

There’s a few of us enthusiasts about, including me (and I also know of two drivers who are enthusiasts) ;)

21264 is currently parked at the back of the depot in its new livery, it and 21267 have been stood down in line with service reductions. However, 21267 isn’t currently in for repaint. Here is a photo of 21264 at Grimsby from a friend of mine https://www.flickr.com/photos/152999766@N08/50968678993/

I wouldn’t expect the Vykings to be repainted, they were due to be replaced but things on that seem to have gone quiet. But then I’d be happy for them to stick around :)

All three remaining Enviro 300s at Hull, 27880-882, which see use on their Park & Ride route have received that livery.

Again, another non native vehicle that actually shows off this livery surprisingly nicely! :lol:

Then again, I've always felt that Wright Eclipse's actually seem to suit the old Beachball scheme quite nicely too, actually preferring how it sit's on these to that of an E200.
