53062 in 'Riversider' livery arrives into the City on a 417 from Ledbury, but will sister Solo 53061 eventually receive 'Riversider' livery?
I can't imagine them repainting 53061 into 'Riversider'. As pre-Covid the 31 was operated using 2 Solo's all day (Mon - Sat).
It could receive the spare bus livery... But considering we're not going to have our 'barbie' 54 plate decker's painted, I would imagine 53061 will remain in 'barbie' until Withdrawal now!
Thanks for the update on 53061, these Solos are getting 'long in the tooth' now and I seem to remember that there was talk many years ago of corrosion problems with this design, so lucky (depending on your viewpoint) that 61 & 62 survive at all.
On the topic of 54 plate double-deckers, is there any news about 33404 departing for Essex, if so whether it will be repainted or, as suggested elsewhere would happen on 32646, being covered in vinyl's?
