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.
Tbf they can't even get the current fleet livery sorted and rolled out across the fleet.
What would the chances be of sorting out a couple of special retro liveries?
Mind, if they do one, then there's probably enough left between the rest of the fleet to show a time line of liveries between then and now.
