I can tell you that 009 and 016 that I know at the moment still have the older system.
I've lost track of which units still need to be done.
016 is in the corner at Skipton Broughton Road where they've been doing the upgrades

Looks like 155346 is heading home today. 5Q55 Long Marston to Hull Botanic Gardens depot. Also 5H70 Heaton to Wolverton is running today. Anyone know the identity. As a heads up there are 5N33 Wolverton to Newton Heath and 5H70 Newton Heath to Wolverton on Saturday again if anyone knows the identity of those workings too

What are the 155s doing at Long Marston?
It's a Porterbrook site so was having life prolonging works (again) it went by road

Fair enough. I just wondered.

I'll take it as 016 is currently getting the system fitted at this point in time. I haven't seen it in service for the last week.

I'd rather there wasn't! Ain't broke, don't fix it.

Both 5H70 and 5N33 were cancelled today.
Looks like a 155 is heading to Long Marston early tomorrow morning on 5Q91.

Thanks for posting those photos, they're better for detail than I could manage as it pulled out of Macclesfield in the semi-darkness this morning: Potential disruption to my journey further south was drawing my attention as it pulled in, unfortunately.

I don't think it's too bad.
Then again I can't think of a livery I don't like.

I think it would be better once the Northern stuff goes (the bubbles etc), and the Bee Network logo is moved to the centre middle. It is a really nice colour at least, and I don't mind the simplicity on the buses because the branding is at least applied very consistently (and simplicity is always good rather than negative). It just needs to be consistent with the buses with all of the Northern bits removed and then it would be fine, if not great even. Is it still bland, maybe a little, but it wouldn't be offensive either.

On the diagram that sits in Piccadilly all day I see.
Good planning if there's going to be a press event.
