I really do quite like the P&R livery, it's very striking and certainly better than what Stagecoach came up with!
If you don't like hearing my negativity, please feel free to skip everything below!
Shame they didn't do the same for the Cathedral livery. I feel like some graphic design students could have come up with something far better.
While I do like the simplicity, all they've done is take the Cathedral and Castle assets from the X-Lines livery and slapped the words "Durham's Cathedral bus" on the side. I'm guessing it probably took them all of an hour in Illustrator (if that!). I get it's 'only' a council contract, but if you're going to design a livery for it, at least put a bit of effort in!
It feels like there was very little thought in to the placement of the text on the rear. The 'Durham's' being above the vents just looks very out of place. Everything could have easily been moved down slightly to make room and (to me at least) it looks far better!
