In terms of Branding wise. I know Arriva are cutting down on branding up buses. Is that due to finances or is that due to any new bus that they will get will be leather seated, USB charging and the all the rest of it? I know a lot of buses are loosing their Sapphire and Max Status for the new Journey Mark Livery. Especially when the X3/X4 and 5/5A streetlites and they got debranded a long while back. Will it be the ending of Route Branded buses at Arriva?

It's been scrapped about a year after the new livery came out, pretty much. Arriva are just so slow at repainting everything that it's sticking around, mind not that's a bad thing in a way as it's a waste of money painting buses that don't need painting.

Though they are cutting down in general, as Storx has pointed out above, there are some specific cases such as with the 434 where branding is happening (2601/3 are in base livery, you'd imagine once 2602 goes then they'll receive vinyls).

It will be definitely interesting to see what Arriva do from this point forward when they get new buses in the future.

Aye agreed, be interesting to see if the Blyth ones get the eco livery, or the eco livery that one at Leicester got instead.

I don't even have a clue what the interior design is, every batch being ordered is coming out different. Some with blue panels, some with green panels. Some with ivory poles, some yellow. Some with the 2009 floor design, others with wood effect. Seems like it's just whatever.

1559 now got a new livery to represent the new 16 Service.

Quite an interesting one but actually decent I must say. Problem is Arriva in Stockton always swap buses on different routes so I wonder if this one will always stay on the 16.

The 15 and 16 interwork, so it will likely end up running around on both services at some point.

True. I wonder also how many more will get painted in this scheme or do ya reckon it's just the one?

Also Arrivas new purple / pink scheme. I wonder what they will plan in the future with that when they order new buses in the coming years.

Does it really matter what buses go on which routes at least they are out & operating the services
