Name one thing I hate...

Positive I saw it earlier on, on the A184, as I was leaving Heworth - at least I saw a B9 with a very distinct livery...

Everything what GNE actually do.

X21 having 3 different interiors....old 6304-6307, current 6332/6333 and then the planned new vehicles.

There you go......

Indeed - as confirmed to colleagues in a team briefing earlier today, 6050 (NK12 GDE) has been painted in a rainbow livery, inspired by the Metrobuses which carried this livery back in the 1980s, and adapted to fit with today’s very prevalent rainbow symbol with a “Bringing communities together, celebrating diversity” message.

I do hope the Pride Livery is redone on the Versa, it doesn't suit the bus at all, it suits this and the Citaro best.

Beautiful

Well that was a good guess by me.

I hope this is the replacement. Having 2 separate liveries for Pride, inclusivity and diversity defeats the object

You know what, I actually quite like it! I'm not usually a fan of rainbows (they're far too political for my liking now) but it does look rather smart

I like 6050,ties in nicely with pride month aswell even if it is a modern take on a livery from the 1980's

It was probably already planned to coincide with Northern/UK Pride in July, however this has extra meaning now, focusing more on the diveristy and inclusivity of not just LGBT

Marmite livery?

Bigun Approves

Looks absolutely cracking, well thought through on many levels

I just noticed, the roof has been left red, is there a reason for that? I thought the new thing was to paint the roofs white (or at least a light colour)

I only noticed because the 'vent' thing on the roof sticks out like a sore thumb!

Isnt it the wifi box?

Could well be!
Point still remains the same, looks a bit silly sticking out of the top, now I've noticed it, I can't unsee it. 
It looks alright when you can see the rest of the roof is red though

I'm surprised it took me this long to find something I don't like!

Yes, it's a roof pod.
No, it doesn't look silly. Please just "unsee" it.
The roof being painted in all of the colours would be stupid.
Why is it always the negative things about the company that you pinpoint?
