Latest Repaint (38216)
The problem with the original Bridges branding was that the deckers were branding randomly across the batch mainly due to the fact the buses transferred from Glasgow to Aberdeen randomly so not all had been withdrawn from service in the Central belt at the time the branding came to be applied. This meant controllers couldnt easily remember which buses were branded and which were not and as such the branded buses ended up on other routes.
Care has been taken when applying the new red front branding for the 1 and 2 to group the buses together from 38218 upwards. However, this has gone a bit wrong now 38215 has been branded out of sequence but 38216 has now been generic branded. 38217 is due to return from repaint so will be interesting to see whether it has the red front or not.
38216 awaits time at the Blackdog on the Sunday Bridges 2.
