But in 2026 to mark:
- 40 years since the inauguration of Northumbria Motor Services
- 30 years since Cowie (now Arriva) purchased Northumbria from British Bus Ownership
Arriva should repaint a few vehicles into the retro Northumbria Motor Services livery, similar to what Stagecoach are doing.
A retro repaint would be awesome, though only the likes of the E400MMCs would do the livery justice giving its angular accents. I also suspect Arriva might be against it as it would put all of the the Arriva liveries since 1997 to shame.
