Arriva have already demonstrated that they can have some pretty decent liveries (I'm thinking about the SightSeeker livery), but the additional X10/X11 vinyls just seem like an afterthought to me.
Blyth already seem to struggle somewhat with the allocation of their vehicles, and surely limiting themselves even further with branding on these Geminis is a bit of a step backwards?

No doubt they will make there way onto the X4/X5/X13! - Yeah, the ''Sightseeker'' and ''Coastliner'' liveries are very nice.
