Is it in a two-tone blue road stripe base?
No unfortunately not. Not that I can see off. Just looks like there keeping it all blue. Doesn't look like a seat retrim ethier

The interior on them is still spot on, definitely doesn't need refurbishment yet. Good clean, but no re-trims or anything.

That seems strange, I wonder if they're going to introduce yet another branding style then as both the road stripe and 'voltra' style were painted with a 2 tone base iirc.

They don't need a re-trim, I'd take those blue e-leather seats over the new moquette any day, especially since it's wipe clean!

Yes - light blue at the front and dark blue at the back (similar to Little Coasters, but not exactly the same).

So, one could assume it's just an upscaled version of the Little Coasters livery
After seeing the StreetLite in light blue now. I'm wondering what the Durham Diamond will look like on the Volvo B5LH

It did look like it might be corp when I saw them .They were only in the very early stages of rub down and re paint when I saw them.

Streetdeckfan or someone else might mock it up for you, if they're feeling generous.
What shade of blue is the Durham Diamond as I quite like it and it would suit the Volvo B5LH nicely

Going from the other liveries, I'd guess it'd maybe look something a little like this.

For some reason, the colours exported wrong, but I can't be arsed to mess around with it, just imagine it's a bit bluer

Tbh with you. That actually looks really smart. I do hope they follow with this livery as thay looks really nice

I think it's a given that the back will stay dark blue, but i wonder whether they'll go with a lighter blue for the front, or with maybe a silver to make it stand out a bit more and make it a bit more 'diamondy'
Imagine if they threw back to the old Durham Diamond when it was orange
What was the originally diamond livery when it was operated by Diamond

Oh I got the wrong one. I thought it was the Orange one but that was for the 43/44

I use Affinity Designer, and I have a few different vehicles that I've extracted from the old timetables that I can modify

Not sure if it was confirmed previously but looks like the B7RLEs were indeed for the X66.

Wonder if they'll gain private plates to hide the fact that they're replacing a newer vehicle.

Well assuming 6145 is a write off (i think it is) it could have the reg that wore
