Thanks for the update

Im wondering which will be next, as they do seem to be painting more or less in fleet order, instead of any old way, as before

I think 37399, 37425,37426 possibly

37425 was out on Friday still in the old livery. 37424 is the first of the 37 branded ones to be done. This wasnt completely debranded before hand, this one had its offside removed around 12 months ago and not replaced due to an accident and panel replacements. Also, remember quite a few of the 36/37 ones were not completely branded in the first place three years ago, some had the front window bit missing, bubbles on the back window, side bits. 37420 is the worst, this is still running around as initially branded with loads missing.

They are basically taking in three a week on a Monday and back in service the follwoing weekend. I'm sure the painters are getting a bit sick of repainting the same each week especially after doing all of Oldham's as well.

37425 WAS SEEN BY ME ON THE 37 GOING INTO BOLTON JUST BEFORE I THINK 37426 MIGHT BE THE THIRD OF THIS WEEKS REPAINTS ALONG WITH 37424,37425
