Former Stagecoach East Cambridge Busway Scania/Enviro 400 15461 has been repainted in all-over dark green (Biobus) colour and is now allocated to Cambridge for Ely/Newmarket services. There has been considerable online discussion on the colour scheme for these vehicles. Stagecoach has agreed that the livery for its Busway operation is blue/green or green and it is believed this is a requirement of the County Council. By painting these ex-Busway vehicles in all-over green, as opposed to corporate Stagecoach livery, will allow their use in the future on the Busway if there is a Busway vehicle off the road, or if there is a short term requirement to increase Busway services. Stagecoach East Midlands has painted Grimsby-allocated ADL E20D/Enviro 200s 37190/91 in a pink-based Europarc livery. At Hull the new Simplibus branding is carried on numerous MAN and ADL E30D vehicles and the previous Frequento branding has been removed from vehicles, although there are some distinct signs of where it was previously carried.

Former Merseyside Dart SLF 34597 is at Swindon and 34596 at Stroud. Dart SLFs 33972/96 have been sold and are no longer part of the fleet, however, Reserve Fleet 33957/58 are now awaiting disposal. Branding for Gloucester service 12 is now carried by Enviro 200s 37320-22. At East Yorkshire Motor Services ADL Enviro 400MMC demonstrator 794 has arrived and is now painted in EYMS livery with X46 branding.
