They look nice but it must be a local livery like the one in Scotland. The Marketing Compnay responsible for the the image have been camped in Leeds all last week to supervise the painting. Decision should be made early next week as to which of the two options. will be used on the next couple to be treated.

Re-paint of the Gemini completed in three shades of Blue I understand, however is unlikely to see the light of day as is, since each side is slightly different to the other. Decision time although I understand that a single deck and an older decker mybe an ALX400 will also be painted to ensure the new scheme is compatable with most of the fleet! Think there's also a bit of pink in there as well. As you say though, a single deck and an ALX400 are due to be done before top management come to inspect them and 37697, believed to be on 12th Oct.

Well, Well, not green then, now blue. So we can assume the new colours wont be based on the old Yorkshire Rider livery. I never said Green, other members introduced that colour although I never said it wasn't. I just said the person who told me had Green Paint on his brush at the time. What I didn't say was where he was and what he was painting at the time. So basically, Youve said nothing then. My question is, Why bother posting?.

37686 is the bus painted its more of a purple than blue. It's not 37686 which is out on 2/3/12/13 as i type this. It is 37697 although confusion may have arisen because it had f/n 37688 (not 6) applied at one point! May still carry it, not too sure.

These also being done at HP. As far as I know 37697 is still at HP.

Thats exactly what i think, So i dont think its helpful when people post in, saying its this colour or that colour etc, when they dont really know. If its mere speculation then surely it would be best posted in the canteen, under the bus rumours section.

Unless the date has changed. it's due to be inspected by management on 12th October so won't be launched until at least then. How long after that though? Well, your guess is as good as mine.

It's parked in the corner of the paint shop. It's not in the easiest of places to get a sneeky picture!!

I do hope they are doing something with those colours on the side, as replacing the barbie livery with different colours is just pure lazy, and shows NO CREATIVITY from FWY what so ever.

it is the same livery, and what ever they've done with the blinds, this is going to make seeing the bus number and destination harder to see. ;D

Getting rid of the feminine pink and purple will do for me, at least the shade of purple on the lower pannels looks better (although we've yet to see it in daylight....)

I found this link on the transport section of theskyscrapercity.com Leeds discussion group. The photo reveals the lower deck side panels and fleet name although the shades are not yet clear. www.flickr.com/photos/cliffordstead/6214182121/No dount you'll all have fun discussing it! Just remember that Leeds trams and buses were various shades of blue from 1927 until the late 1940s when red or green became the order of the day. So you could say it's a development of historical colours.
