5358 has received the new 'Connections4' livery.
Very predictable, probably took them all of 4 seconds to design!
What's really bothering me is the fact the Connections4 logo on the front and side are different, the text on the side appears to be stretched, whereas the text on the front is not.
I'm sure I'll find even more to complain about once there's more pictures up!

I actually think that looks really smart. In the same style as all the other recent liveries, bar Voltra and QuayCity, and all the text is easy to read at first glance.
Nothing unnecessary, just simple route branding along the cant rail and a brand name slapped on the side. As I've said on multiple occasions, I think simplicity in branding is far better than making it all cluttered as I think some designs, like CityRider (? - genuinely forgot if that's the right brand for the 56 now), are bordering on.
Only point, and this is very picky, is that because of the placement of the place names it looks like the glass above the side desty has been replaced and the vinyls haven't been stuck back on (see any of ANEs Streetlites for actual examples of this).
