Both of the liveries above should now be outdated and should be being phased out but with Arriva who knows. 2817 being painted into the frequenta base (which is interurban without the painted cream horn) suggests that maybe these buses will not receive the new standard livery before the end of their lives and 2817 was done to better match the rest. As always with Arriva I feel its just a guessing game as buses such as 1924 get the new livery but 7524 - 7528 remain in the old livery rather than matching to 7541 - 7552.

Pulsars look so much better in the previous version than interurban, apparently Arriva have stopped putting vehicles into new livery as it costs too much, it’s like Darlington 1602-1614 are in sapphire new livery where as 1514/5/6/7534/35/36/37/38/40 are all in old style, as someone said I can’t remember if it was on here or Facebook, the repaint of 2817 looks like it’s a in house job rather than been sent away, as it’s a proper bodge job, if it was sent away then people think that it would have got new livery anyway
