1 the new livery of the x66 does anyone agree that one of them looks like an arriva bus with the color used

and

2 there are much more knowledgeable poster on here compared to me when it come to the make and model of buses but are the ones now operating the X66 not the same as they had a party for when they got taken off the 93/94 loop?  Obviously cant tell there ages due to the private reg on them?

As someone said but they're just the same body design wise.

Wright Eclipse 1 / 2 - Volvo B7RLE (These)
Wright Pulsar 1 / 2 - SB200 (Arriva's)
Wright Solar 1 (no 2) - Scania L94UB (Old GNE)

1 = old lights at the front
2 = new lights at the front

You can barely tell the difference between them but if you really want to know then

Pulsar = Vent on driver side
Eclipse = Vent on nearside, fuel tank behind back wheel
Solar = Vent on nearside, fuel tank in front back wheel

It's why it looks like an Arriva bus since GNE have no other of the type in the fleet now.
