Nothing out of the ordinary.

CX06BJK has appeared outshopped in new livery, seems it had incorrectly added stickers on the second passenger window and rear of the bus, as they have been chopped and peeled, and actually damaged the fresh paintwork at the rear

Would definitely look better with black window and light surrounds too much of 1 colour I think

Im definitely not a fan of that livery , it lacks something that some of the other companies on the block have at the moment.

It probably helps the balance sheet of Arriva having the same colour all over.

I do know that the old Arriva swoops , some areas notably in the North East seemed to have there own variations on there vehicles.

I think the problem with that particular vehicle is they've got a space which sticks out as being space for an advert but they've painted it the same colour of the rest and put the website address there and they've not even aligned the website address so that it's in the middle of that section.

3102 has just left St Helens in new livery it should be back today I think be correct me if Im wrong

All the layouts on the LED Displays seem to of changed over the last week, not sure if all depots are doing it but text is a lot smaller and fits a lot more on display and service number is now on the left not the right.

I've picked up on that, and the Not in Service now scrolls with "Not in Service - Arriva Supporting #Manchester" across the entire display.

2607 is now here.
