HA20 refurbished, it's interior not having the best of colour coordination now that it has Arriva style seat covers. I have seen the photo on The Londoner FB page and don't think it looks as bad as some of the reactions it received. I think it looks better than the Stagecoach E400 City refurbs at HK. Whoever signed off on the Arriva refurb is clearly blind, it looks absolutely awful. I get it from a corporate standpoint that having the vehicles with the same seat covers reduces replacement cost but aesthetically it’s an eyesore.

I agree, the poles and seats are both unsaturated tones and it clashes in a really ugly way. The VHRs look pretty good so I think giving the HAs white poles might have made them look nicer.

Just noticed on LVF quite a few WSDs havent been used in 10 days or more, are these still at SW or elsewhere having some sort of maintenance done?

Seen a picture of 8142 refurbished, complete with BC codes which confirms it will be 404 bound once the E5 goes electrics

Am I right in saying all of the frogface HV's at AD are done or is there any left outstanding. I was surprised to see them refurbed. It shows how long I've been away from that area 😂

Has WHV 70 been refurbished at any point? I used the bus today and was surprised how fresh it looked internally but outside looked like it was in need of a repaint.

HV203 & HV205 repainted (not sure about the interior). I'm assuming HV201/202 & 206 are now away for that too, given they haven't been seen since the 2nd or 8th December. wait why??

Refurbished for the 221’s retention no HV201-206 is allocated for the 158. do you mean that the 221s PVR is increasing?

In fact, its two year extension starts next month.

Or maybe moves are planned to release buses for the SL2?
