Alternatively I think it could be a first peak at the new livery similar to what the Yetongs will be branded in once they arrive as iirc that was going to be Green.
Could be entirely wrong however!
Honestly can't see it being a new brand or route livery. The current situation means that operators are still reasonably fluid with allocations in terms of capacity required - and we don't know what demand is going to be like once everything returns to "normal".
I think it's far more likely to be a special, one-off, livery of some kind - which would also point to it being a B9TL rather than a B5LH, as the B9TL allocation will free up with the imminent arrival of the Red Arrows MMCs.
