I'm not too sure as to why it hasn't been rolled out further.
The Max base livery with a few tweaks would be perfect for an express livery. Losing the teal would be a start.
If Arriva were to re-launch, it needs to "stand out" and scream WOW! That's what GNE did well with XLines.
Arriva could play on the letter "X" for advertising:
X93:
eXcellent sights along the glorious North Yorkshire Coast.
X18:
eXcellent sights along the glorious Northumberland coast
X10/X11:
eXcellent frequency - every 10 minutes
