Reading on Yahoo groups one of the Man EcoCitys for Runcorn will be on display at the NBC for Euro Bus Expo on 6-8th November 2012 and the fleetnumbers start from 5000 but unsure of registrations

They look far too good for Runcorn, far too good! :-P lol
They look absolutely spot on, really like the livery variant! Cant wait to see these out and about!

I think they look supurb in that colour and wonder if birkenheads deckers will be in the same livery too,never know these man ecocities might become a greater presence in the northwest if they prove successful and have cheaper running costs.


RE: Arriva North West - Runcorn Depot - K853 MTJ - 05/11/2012 12:31

Birkenheads hybrids are rumoured to be going into some sort of silver livery.


RE: Arriva North West - Runcorn Depot - motormayhem - 05/11/2012 15:00

Imo i think they should have all the hybrids in one livery so thete all matching.

As Motormayhem they need to be seen to be something different and enticing motorists out of there cars , at the moment buses are very inviting for car drivers though.

The Enviro400's being extensively refreshed should also enter service in a sprayed silver livery, in their case though to reflect the new 'Platinum' branding.

They look properly flipping swish, and the silver roof pod is a nice touch Cool

The livery is similar to the 300 service in Stockport I think, personally - maybe slightly brighter, but still smart and distinctive.
