Looks bloody dreadful IMO, the swoop goes far too high at the front for my liking.

Looks very Arriva to me, I can see that causing a bit of confusion on North Road!

Didn’t another one of these MetroCentre Shuttles look pretty Arriva too? Maybe a good idea on paper to link into the MetroCentre’s branding and coloured zones but not sure it’s working brilliantly.

Yes, one of the X66 B7s is basically an Arriva knock off, and it looks even more so in person than even in the photos!

You're right about the blue - it does seem like someone has got MetroCentre's corporate colours mixed up with the mall colours.

Noted earlier in the thread about 3941 being repainted into the Green varient of the X22 Metrocentre livery, but haven't seen any photos yet and noticed that it's been off the road since the 24th August (according to Bustimes).

Is there a big asterisk on the branding after Durham. 

Just in case anyone tries to get to Durham on a Sunday…

Wistfully stuck in the 90s

X10, X9/X10, fake TEN, plain red, 2016 corporate livery, roadstripe corporate livery, and now this. It must struggle to get over.

Don't think that brand is doing either of those buses any favours. Obviously GNE can't do much about the Metrocentre's rebrand to the late 90s, but the front of 3942 looks dreary. Similarly the rear of 3941, that neon green and dark blue with that font, just looks out of place.

I don't think the grey/blue version on 3942 looks too bad, at least compared to the toxic green of 3941.

Maybe we can get all the plants, market barrow stalls and fountains back, to accompany this 90s throw back? I'd have said Metroland too, but I think Consett has more chance of getting a Metro extension...
