The Sullivan vehicles are showing as having not been used for a while, presumably these are in service as school extras but not tracking?

As I previously said, they are school extras - not every school extra will show on I-Bus for various reasons. Both TPL's & 3 ex RATP VLE's were moved from the provincial fleet back into the TfL fleet as extras.

Former Abellio Enviro 200 8525 (YX59 BYT) is now with Cardinal, in full fleet livery and LED blinds. No fleet number applied yet, but I would hazard a guess it'll gain a two letter prefix and three digit number based on its Abellio identity, perhaps something like E?525. Their previous single deck Enviro was not an ex-London bus but gained fleet number EL502, presumably standing for 'Enviro Long' and then the last three digits of its Stagecoach (Midlands) national fleet number 27502.

Any pics? Keep an eye on their Facebook early next week (I'll copy it here in case you're not on FB). It's not just the outside that's received attention

Any pics? Cardinal Buses do present their fleet well. It will certainly look plenty better than the state it was in at Abellio

It will certainly look plenty better than the state it was in at Abellio The reason why it was in that state was because it was contracted to the 407 for one 5 year contract before being used to fill gaps just like most of the rest of the batch. Had it of done another contract, it would of been refurbished and would of been better off.

This is pretty much the case, a nod to the past. It is not directly related to the past Cardinal District operation, and there are a few very minor subtle differences between the two cardinal head logos (enough to make them technically different, but only really noticeable if you compare them side by side).
