You're not wrong there. I think it was last in 2008 they were all uniform until the CX58 Enviro400s arrived in the then new intrrurban livery. Then of course the following year 3000-3011 arrived in the wrong livery, ie cotswold stone. If I remember rightly a number of X plate cadets received the new livery around 2010/11, Palatine 3301 got it too but a few others transferred back from Liverpool, 3291 and 3275 being 2 of them but 275 didn't hang around. Of course the Geminis and ALX400s DAFs that replaced the palatines came in Interurban too. 7556 and a few of the P plate Dart SLFs got interurban repaints too.

Of Laird St's original Pulsars only 3001 3005 and 3011 got the "Interurban" livery.

Currently off the top of my head, 2903,2904,2957,2958,3003,3006,3007,3008,3009,3010 are still in Cotswold stone at Laird St.

I think we have 2530,2579,2599,2905,2907,2908,2953,2954,2955,3005,4107,6000,6001,6002,6003,​6004,6005 still in Interurban.

2529,2543,2545,2548,2553,2601,2631,2633,2634,2906,2909,2956,3000,3004,4106 in the new livery.

All off the top of my head so probably missed something!
