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

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...

I would add USB's.

Looks very Arriva to me, I can see that causing a bit of confusion on North Road!

Didn’t another one of these MetroCentre Shuttles look pretty Arriva too? Maybe a good idea on paper to link into the MetroCentre’s branding and coloured zones but not sure it’s working brilliantly.

Yeah,the blue one,personally i think the shade of Blue and Green used are the wrong shades

Yes, one of the X66 B7s is basically an Arriva knock off, and it looks even more so in person than even in the photos!

You're right about the blue - it does seem like someone has got MetroCentre's corporate colours mixed up with the mall colours.

Grey for the Central Mall perhaps?

Noted earlier in the thread about 3941 being repainted into the Green varient of the X22 Metrocentre livery, but haven't seen any photos yet and noticed that it's been off the road since the 24th August (according to Bustimes).
