For the record 695 had been repainted before in the old Sandstone/Aquamarine this last one might have only been a partial one to add the darker blue and the blue front to form the cow horns.

It's been done in the Darker blue and Cowhorns livery but the corners at the front stick up like the repainted Spectra's (Not 721) and it was really shiny, that's what caught my eye.

It's been like that for a month but unlike the rest of the Heckmondwike examples which didn't look like that had anything done to them livery wise except the removal of the old Route 268, 695 had seen sort of full repaint about 2-3 years ago. It had always looked brighter than the rest of them

695 stood out from the rest cos it was the ONLY President to have a BLACK "Arriva" Logo at the front. I could always tell if 695 was approaching! Now all look the same.................Or do they! ! lol hint...one has yellow line all the way down the side, some stop after the wheel arch at rear etc!!!!

Wasn't some of the ALX400's meant to be refurbished inside and repainted for the peak time 163/6's, maybe this is one of them. Noticed that the seats have been re-trimmed on 674 and this one appears to be a regular on 163/6. Looked like the revised trim pattern as well, only seen from the outside although the windows were clean!!!!!!!!!! Anyone know if there are plans to do any more or infact all of the ALX400's they all look as if they need it? The seats on ALX400 674 have been re-trimmed same pattern and background colour as the Tempos except on 674 the fleck in the pattern is a number of different shades of blue. The fleck on the Tempos seats includes a yellowy/orange and orangey/red this was not in the material used on 674. I'm not sure if 674 had anything else done to it except the repaint and full set of re-trimmed seats

It would be nice if Arriva would do the rest of the ALX400's as well, some of them are starting to look quite tired/tatty inside and out now. Castleford appear to be allocating 1300-2 the unbadged Tempos to 156/9 so the 163/6 still requires a minimum of 3 ALX400's each day

It has now been confirmed the the Interurban livery is now going to be "THE STANDARD LIVERY"!! so all Arriva buses will soon be in this livery. Some buses will suit this some will look rather odd. lol

I saw Ikarus 53 the other day and it looks a lot better than the other repainted one and than what it did before.

Strange since unpainted 13 got it wheel trims recently

Yes it's unbranded. It has more Dark blue than Dewsbury's commanders. Looks quite good. Not sure if it is going to recieve route branding again?

56 is now repainted with the wheel trims but there was a yellow sticker in the front window "NFS"which I think it means not for service seen driving along by asda.
