Also, given that this is quite a substantial order / investment being made on the 30th anniversary year of Cowie's acquiring United Automobile Services & British Bus (Northumbria), it would be great to see a few examples going back into the UAS & NMS colours similar to what Stagecoach did for Busways & Cleveland and Transit.

NMS also marking 40 years since Northumbria was formed too!

Could even hoy the Arriva nearside passenger windows sticker in like what both operators did in the interim until repainted between 1998 & 2001/02.
