The seaside theme is kept and the only thing that is different about the livery is the fact that the Drifter lighthouse is red and white (presumably something to do with Sunderland) and the Coaster lighthouse is white. Therefore, I cant see them doing it now either.
From what I've heard from a couple of drivers, the 50 is going to be styled similar to the Coaster and Drifter, but with the palmtrees and the little sand dune behind the rear wheel on the engine area. God forbid if they squeeze Whey Aye Five 0 onto two lines between the wheels, I'm getting sick of the livery designers just recycling the brand designs, they're running out of more ideas than Seth MacFarlane is for Family Guy! I mean, half of them are given to kids for competitions! It was better when about this time a few years ago, for example the 21/22 and X25 shared the Angel and Sir Bobby Robson (to the passengers it was a pink bus no matter what was written on it). If perhaps 78/8 and 71 shared the Lime or the 43/44 and X43 shared the Diamond, then they wouldn't have to pick a brand name for each individual route, I mean look at the Cobalts, why not just have it all under Cobalt Clipper instead of creating Cobalt Connect?
