I saw this earlier in the week, and it looks boss! I didn't like the look of this vehicle in just that livery, but with the big motif it looks really neat.
I'm still slightly baffled on why they have chose to celebrate 35 years of the company on a bus that wasn't previously theirs! Surely it would have made more sense to have used and repainted one of the Evolutions, considering they where new to the company themselves...

I think 154 would have been a better option as S54NCW 'Snowey' was brand new to the firm and the oldest dart left with Avon
I think 251 was picked as it needed to be painted out of Helms Livery anyway
If it was me i would of painted 2 buses , the oldest bus in the fleet and the newest bus of the fleet as would paint the old one in the original livery and paint the newest one in the new livery.

154 is still in old livery just need Avon Coaches logos instead of Avon Buses logos
The '12' plate E20D's are in the new livery so in theory what you just put is already the case
But 154 has been in the fleet 16/17 years with it being 'S plate' so that should have gained the 25 year wrap or a special livery in theory
But Avon have there reasons for 251 in that livery and it should be left at that
Is 246 still on fleet strength not seen it for a while so I presume VOR or scrapped?
246 was scrapped some time ago after a fire on the M53
Was told yesterday that Darts 124 and 548 are due of the road in the very near future!
124 and 154 are due to go, possibly followed by 187
154 has seen end of service, was on fire in greasby this afternoon
