RE: New repaint 21 - RobinHood - 19 Feb 2021
It is 1531, was involved in a front end damage accident near Cockfield whilst operating on Service 6 a few weeks ago.
The whole front end needed to be replaced.
Understand no other vehicles involved.

How did they manage that if no other vehicles were involved?
Can't quite make out where it is, but I don't think anywhere along that road is particularly bad.
And I don't believe it was particularly cold that day either?

Didn't know where else to put this, however after 8 years on here I'm finally posting in Arriva section!
Down in leeds atm, the sapphire versas allocated to the 167 today is absolutely immaculate. ANE could learn a lot from then

Believe it or not those Sapphire Versa's were formerly of Yorkshire Tiger! They recently transferred to Arriva Yorkshire and had a spruce up/Sapphire repaint after YT gave up the airport services they used to be allocated to, hence why they're in such good nick!
