Green is the missing colour for the MetroCentre expresses, so perhaps the X22?

Was supposed to be an image showing it on bustimes but it seems to have messed up

3941 is indeed in the green MetroCentre livery, just been shown a photo.

Christ, I hope it's one of the good ones. I don't think my ears could cope with a B7 on the A1!

Looks bloody dreadful IMO, the swoop goes far too high at the front for my liking.
Here's a concept for a 'swoopy loop' I did quite a while back using similar colours, and I think it looks more in proportion

There's two for the X22 apparently

(19 Aug 2021, 10:43 am)streetdeckfan There's two for the X22 apparentlyAh I see.....do agree the swoop seems very high. Have they retrimmed the seats on these? Or do they have the old X9/X10 moquette that was back to front ?

3941 and 3942 were re-trimmed a few years ago in GNE Blue.

So I take it very little is being done interior-wise with them then? They won't be getting the new moquette, USB, NSA etc, just the WiFi?
