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

Chester driver said the X22 was going B7's.. not sure if that is a link...

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.

On a Facebook Post I saw it. Looks really nice tbf

Link or image please?

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

The only NK05 which isn't a 'hoover' Is 3941 as far as I'm aware. I'd prefer the NK06s tbh.

I'm not too familiar with the B7s tbh, I just know the ones I have used you could hear them about 10 minutes before you could see them!

Its for the X22 rather than the X66.
The X66 is getting three of the mall colours, the X22 is getting the other two

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

I thought it was going to be green and platinum/silver for the 5th mall. Unless they count silver swoop

There's two for the X22 apparently

Ah 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?

Cheers, the old moquette was nice considering...
