One of the new Solos, looks good to me and hopefully they'll put other buses in the colours with the logo:

This is the new planned livery btw :-) so all non-rented/leased buses will be like this soon

It looks a hell of a lot better than their current livery - its like something a 5 year old has done. Very outdated.
Although I don't like the word 'travel' under the MCT logo. It reads Manchester Community Transport Travel which is a bit of a mouth full.
I was thinking that regarding the 'Travel' but never mind!

The MCT looks fine without the 'travel' bit underneath. A simple but smart modern logo which stands out. They could also invest in some temporary vinyl sets to put on their rented vehicles - similar to Stotts in Oldham who simply add vinyls to the front and side of loaned buses and it does make a difference.
They are trying to rebrand the company, basically community transport companies are looked at as toying around when it comes to buses, so they are trying to make themselves look more professional, so it is MCT as the name, not as an abreviation anymore in this case. Saying this I agree should just be MCT
MC Transport, I personally think that would have done it. :P the use of 'Travel' is so cliché and sounds cheap to me, almost un-thought-out... (Not quoting in any unjust, unprofessional and troublemaking way...) Wink
Streetlite MX61-BAA was operating, I think the 178 yesterday afternoon. I have seen several streetlites in MCT's "lovely" (I think not) all white livery over the last few weeks.
Theyre probably leased, so... No, the probably wont put the livery on them, but this should br done to all owned vehicles soon
