Stagecoach MCSL - Chester & Wirral Depots

[K101HUM]

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
A quality paint finish. From what can be seen in the photos of 16964, it still retains its lilac grab rails. A give-away sign of former FirstGroup ownership. Standard First information stickers can be seen here too under the staircase. Again, clear evidence of its former owner, despite the huge beach-ball on the glass of the staircase. Seen below:

As Stagecoach are keeping this batch of B9TL's, would it not make sense to eradicate completely all evidence of FirstGroup first time around? Judging by the comments of the photograph author, all this will remain in situ and return to active service.
