I believe 119 did a couple of trips on the i4 yesterday as well. Looks to be a slightly shortage of spare vehicles as all of them seem to be out and there are at least 3 skylink Notts and 2 indigos off the road, and an i4. I do wonder why 107/8 weren't repainted as spares as odd allocations like this are frowned upon. (At least 10 years ago that was, may not be now)

I wouldn’t be surprised if the plan is to repaint two of 111-119 into Rushcliffe Villager or spare livery when all the mainline buses have been refurbed. It also makes sense they are using mainline branded buses on other routes when they have two extra buses to cover the PVR while refurbs are happening, though I do agree that a decade ago it would have been very rare to see this!

Maybe even 107/108 if the paint has dried.

I thought the plan was for 107/108 to be rebranded for the villager once the mainlines refurbs have been completed?
