I wonder how long it will take to get that applied. Was it an genuine error or have Heckmondwike run out of yellow tape! |

looking at several pictures on that link seems there are only 2 buses there with the yellow tape so cant be that odd for interurban buses not to have it on??

There are only two different vehicles in the pictures 7458 (L95 HRF) which is complete with the yellow band and Arriva emblem on the cream flash. 7457 (L94 HRF) which looks like it might have been rushed into service since it sports neither the yellow band or the Arriva emblem, not good for the corporate image. |

You do notice those photos were taken in January so Arriva fleetnames could have been put on since.
Arriva in Liverpool have a fair few ALX400s knocking about with no fleetnames on.

I saw this yesterday and managed to get a pic of it. Was stuck in traffic in a car and saw this coming towards us and quickly took a pic on ma IPhone!! Arriva seem to be rushing repaints by not putting simple finishing touches to the vehicles like this case the Yellow stripe round the bus as reported in above post and the white band from the swirl. Maybe Arriva is "doing a First" like when they didn't add the faders to the "Barbie2" livery!!! Below is link to the picture on My site. gazsbuspics.fotopic.net/p57924095.html |

We wasn't moving and the spectra was moving VERY slowly thats how I got it. Even I was surprised to get a clear pic too even got the reg on it!!!!! I have taken moving pics and yes I have noticed comes out blurry. When we go to the Arriva Tour Im taking a cam! |

Most of Heckmondwike's fleet are receiving new stickers on the interior. Instead of the Welcome Aboard! sticker, it now has a Hello sticker. Also all the rest of the Arriva stickers throughout the Bus have been replaced with new ones with a blue design.

Better than I can say for some depots! |

The things that are happening at Hecky will be rolled out to the rest of the depots. Hecky is a test first.

Hecky's are now receiving new advertisement boards inside the buses rather than having posters stuck to the ceiling and stay there for yrs. Noticed on one still advertising for the Concessions free in West Yorkshire from April 2006 (I think it was when Metro got rid of the 35p in WY one before the Englishwide). Must say buses look fresher and tidier without the random stickers! First thing on a morning Buses are smelling fresh as must have been cleaned floors were still wet when I get on at 5.10am on the 219.
Also noticed a Spectra this morning with the Box sat on top of the dashboard. Been reported in another thread. Looks a bit out of place. Dunno if been activated yet as bus was going fast and braking suddenly therefore no red or green Lights appeared!

It did look rather strange that as it had the full front bumper in the dark blue as apposed to a line of blue! If u know what I mean. Look at 721 then the front of 722 you will see what I mean.
