However, I was following it in my car earlier and I can't help but think it's a bit of a bodge job, because on the roof at the front where it slopes up, where the LED screen is, the back of it is still yellow and everyone can see it!

Oh bloody hell, he gets the Versa's painted to my design which i sent him when he first purchased NMZ so i'll have to wait for photographs to see if its done correctly no doubt Ron will have photos in no time or someone else at least they have not scrapped the blue as the MCV and Versa had me thinking they have

Came across this image on an ex Abellio London Enviro 200 online https://flic.kr/p/TxMbG9 now to me it looks like its for Crosville in West Super Mare (coloured wheels gave me that impressions) but could it also be a possibility for Townlynx?

This has left the firm with only three coaches.

Townlynx have cancelled their​ T1 service (Greenfield - Holywell - Chester) with effect from 1 July according to Notices & Proceedings.
It will be interesting to see how long Arriva's 10A lasts after this cancellation.
