EMC1 is now refurbished meaning the leaves have now gone and its also received the yellow bar colours like the other EMCs and other similar changes but not similarly has had hybrid cleaner air stickers stuck on it instead of electric oddly.

Never understood why Arriva have used yellow poles for most of their SD fleet, rather than white. The DDs were updated to white (along with the new moquette) starting with the 09reg DWs, but SDs kept orange until 61reg, then yellow from 12reg, until the 64/15reg EMCs when new eventually switched to white. This stayed consistent with orders for the 377, 410, 450 and B13, then back to yellow again for the 192/289/W4/W6. I assume the 377s new Metrocities will be yellow too?

The yellow/orange is incredibly unflattering too, especially on the older buses. T199 stuck out when it went to TC before withdrawal and a lot of the SDs like the 289's ENXs with the non-white poles look terrible.

I think they worked with the old moquette (as T199 had), as it had some yellow details in the pattern, but yellow/orange doesn't go with the current blue moquette.

HV280 has been refurbished, saw it in Victoria yesterday on the 2. There is photo evidence HV280 was repainted between Nov and Jan. Agree paintwork still looks pretty fresh, can you confirm it is returbed internally? Been trying to get a closer look for a few months.

Only parts of the vehicle has new paintwork.

HV280 is definitely a refurbished bus, the seat trim has been replaced saw it today on the 249. A few months ago however it was only half repainted or maybe I did not see it properly. I noticed the other day HV304 has a similar coat of paint.

VWH2301 refurbished, retaining its original appearance. Good to see more 17 regs getting refurbished without the tomato look. 👍
