SBS9C SG

Saw a Olympian Batch 1 with side logo painted over in white but still in service. IIRC it's SBS9348P on 37. It has since returned to the depot as split shift has ended. I will check out the bus again to confirm later in the evening, hopefully they still deploy it.

Was in service again during split shift. Wonder why was the logo painted over, accidental deployment or was there a mix up between it and the retired Olympians.

The 173 perm O405s: TIB588D, TIB625E, TIB626C seen to like jumping around on 189 during split shift and replacing some of the A/P OCs during that time period. Ever seen TIB625E on 189AP04 before...

This bus is always on service, but I myself don't understand why is it not painted with the livery either.
