(26 Mar 2024, 3:43 pm)Mike_98 Don't know why, but according to Bus Times its being said that it's repainted into the Journey Mark Livery. Don't they only do that when they also install leather seats?

(27 Mar 2024, 1:46 pm)Jimmi Because some make assumptions based on little to no facts, so end up with cases where they do 2 + 2 and end up with 5, often if anything has been MIA for more than a few days, then it must be getting a repaint.

(05 May 2024, 10:40 pm)Spottybus Well obviously not when it returns in the same exact livery so it hasn’t been repainted + I’m pretty sure they won’t repaint them due to their age.

I personally wouldn't be surprised to see everything repainted when iSquared take over. If they had any sense they'd ditch the Arriva name. It has absolutely no positive recognition and doesn't really have any historic meaning either.
Doing something like First done wouldn't be the worst idea with local names on a corporate design, they already have some names Midland Fox, Northumbria, North Western, Tees and District etc.

There's been far too much bad press over the last 10 years for Arriva and they will keen to show that it is a new ownership group. I suspect over the next couple of years there'll be a lot of changes to come, including changes in staff higher up the pyramid.

(06 May 2024, 4:03 pm)RobinHood There will be no rebrand, no livery overhaul. iSquared intend on being fairly silent owners, leaving Arriva to make their own decisions again. Something DB never allowed.
By allowing Arriva to make their own decisions again, the first signs are circa 100+ new vehicle order already gone in, deliveries starting later this year, albeit majority going to North West I believe, rather than North East. But, it's a sign that things are already moving forward again.

(06 May 2024, 5:31 pm)Mike_98 I imagine the North West vehicles will go to the North East if they are getting all the new ones. TBF, I do like the Arriva Liveries plus it will save confusion for passengers.
