Do you know in relation to which contract these are being refurbished? 102 although these are mainly used on the 34 Oh OK, find that surprising, contract started in 2019 when buses only 2 years old.

Not sure the exact fleet number but over the past few days I’ve spotted what appears to be a newly painted bus on route 190. The thing looks really strange as they have painted the window surrounds red rather than the usual black.
Anyone know if the whole allocation for the 190 will be done, guessing the repaint was as a result of Metroline retaining the contract late last year

Yes it literally hits you as soon as you see it just how red the bus is.

Yes it literally hits you as soon as you see it just how red the bus is. Yeah not sure if I like it or not. It certainly looks different that’s for sure. Makes it look like a totally different type of vehicle as it changes how the curves and lines of the bus look.

I really like it, and I know I’m in the minority here but I also really like the Enviro400MMCs. As they’ve also painted between the windows red it looks like the separated panes of glass you got on the classic E400s. Big thumbs up from me although I know so many people absolutely hate what they’ve done to them.

It looks cheap and nasty IMO, reminds me of something you'd find a low cost operator outside London doing

Although I'd agree that the E400MMCs look nice, the E200MMCs are (imho) horrible, it looks very cheap and nasty

The allocation should be getting its refurb done right now. DEL2249 was not seen in service at all this month so I am certain that will be next. 2 others might follow but its too early to tell. This might explain why there's been an influx on VWs on the 190 currently to cover refurbished vehicles.

Technically the pair of ex-First DEs at AH are the refurb floats for DELs, in which all buses that have the (may I say quite horrible) repaint are fully refurbished

Looks like it is from the 80’s which I guess for some isn’t a bad thing. And yes I’ve noticed lots of VW’s too and some DEL’s being out for refurb makes sense. Going to be strange seeing these buses everyday.
