Looks to be a new company doing the vinyls now, so don't know what their availability would be. Once the Sapphires are done, I'm sure they'll move to everything else.

It doesn't look like Arriva are going to ignore the 'eco' aspect of their buses afterall, based on how North West's EcoCity 5003 has been painted:

Anyone after 1450, if you are in the Durham area at teatime, it will be the 1715 X12 back to Middlesbrough. Just passed it at Summerville heading towards Middlesbrough on the X22.

The Eco brand was never going to be scrapped, just Frequent and Express.

I think painting the roof pod green would have been a good idea. The bonded glass makes the green swoop rather insignificant!

For a de novo livery, rather than an add on, that all looks a bit cobbled together and badly proportioned. Everything behind the swoop is not the least bit aesthetically pleasing.

It's a nightmare! The colours and even the styling with the swoops aren't that bad, if a little generic. It's everything stuck to it that gives you a headache. The massive URL is there like anyone accesses webpages by typing out the full web address? I was on a new Sapphire E400 City in Chester the other day and the stickers (not even contravison) over the top deck rear side windows defeated the point of the panoramic glazing on the E400 City. 

Also I'm not particularly a neat freak but the gap in the swoops round the ad-frame is making me itch.

Have to agree with all the comments on the livery. Does not look premium at all compared to the previous version. Just looks all thrown together.

Been a smash on the A167 between a Honda and either 4812/13/14. The rear of the bus is heavily damaged, could be a write off?
