Those 2014 ones are perhaps the oldest ones that you could see getting the treatment (and I'm surprised, pleasantly, that they've done them). Look smart
It certainly doesn't look 12 years old, but I think the Wright Eclipse bodywork style has helped, it's a design that's aged very well in my opinion.
Agree, when you compare it to something like the Enviro 300 from the same time frame, these still look pretty fresh.
Agreed, Wright certainly came up with a winning formula.

3006 Is still parked up out the back of Tamworth depot, I don't think it's actually worked since it's repaint, it does look smart though.

3004 & 5 are also having major work done to them. Not sure if this includes a repaint too.

Even more reason to question the rumours of them being withdrawn then.
3768 seems to have moved from Tamworth to Milton Keynes

They seem to be spending some money on the citaros lately. I was on 3005 today and it was clean and had small touch ups to the out side. The inside wasn’t refinished just cleaned. But mechanically it was smooth and fast like a brand new bus.
hopefully If they are doing this they stay around abit longer.

A Temsa has left MRC this morning in the new darker shade, 7102… wonder if the X6 will gain a new style of branding
Is there any photos?

Spotted in Loughborough this morning.
Does anyone know the hex codes for the new darker blue?
Thank you
No branding planned, just a big “A” (from the logo) on the side

Is 7100 7101 7103 7104 7105 7204 having repaint into new blue same as 7102
I believe it got donated to a museum for preservation. But I’m not sure which one unfortunately
No clue what the plan is with 7204 but yes I believe it’s the plan for all of the Temsas to go into blue, as well as brand new engines & wheelchair backrests.

Spotted it on the X6 and it certainly stands out
Are there any plans for route branding on them?
No plans that I’m aware of, also don’t know if they’re getting their ‘stripes’, there should be a big “A” fitted some time soon on each side.

Is there anything going on with 2518? It's not tracked on Bustimes for just over a month, but I just checked and it is currently taxed and has had a new MOT as of last month.

4427 is withdrawn; sister 4428, Arriva's last Interurban-liveried bus in Leicestershire, is now the oldest double-decker bus with Arriva in Leicestershire.
