"They’re different styles for different purposes. Cobalt is in our standard brand style (recently updated and now being rolled out). The gold design is for our express routes to differentiate them from normal services".

He said Silver is a hard colour to work with, so hopefully we have no more new brands using Silver.... fully expect the Fab 56 B9's to go for a refurbishment next.... hopefully the flowers don't make an appearance EVER again.... but would like another colour than orange.....
To be fair I think the crusader would work well with the new style.....silver at front with a red rear same as now with white and orange stripe. Wouldn't take a lot of tweaking.
However I think that the gold front on all X services might be confusing down the line. Imagine standing at high level bridge and the X1, X21, X30, X70, X10 all come at once........be better if rear was gold and front brand colour to help differentiate between them
