The blue beachball version was meant to be as a paintshop spare livery. As I understand the idea that the buses in that livery, 24172 & 24173 would be allocated to the paintshop (I assume at Rock Ferry?) and as buses from each depot came in for their own normal repaints they'd send those two out to cover at the other depots.

This never happened though as planned but I have been told by fitters at Gillmoss that that was the plan. Why it required a different livery though I really don't know - I did like it though, it is a shame both have been repainted.
