I thought that as there are so many repaints happening in Keighley at the moment, it would be useful to have a comprehensive list here, and updates on that list. Already painted so far: New Shuttle livery Butterscotch & Blue 1807, 1810, 1812. New Transdev In Keighley Green/Blue MPD 779, Dart 848. Ex Coastliner B7RLE's 450 - 455 (451/2 have extra blue under windscreens).
Noted today in service in new Shuttle livery was 1801, and just out of paint-shop is ex Shuttle Spare B7RLE 1814 now wearing Green/Blue (but not had fleet-numbers or vinyl's applied yet).

The Shuttles are really coming on now, only seen 1805, 1806 and 1811 in old Shuttle livery in past few days with 1801, 1802, 1807, 1809, 1810, 1812 and 1813 out in new livery. Assume the others are away being painted

Shuttles 1803/1804/1808 now repainted, 1803 was on the road today and is the only one to have been painted in Keighley. You will note the shuttle buses painted in house at other depots have the correct amount of blue under the windscreen, and black above the rear window. The others (painted at Bus & Coach world?) have less blue under the windscreen, and blue above the rear window. Also the latter seems to have done a better job in removing the traces of 662 branding on the rear window! Shuttles complete so far, 1801/2/3/4/7/8/9/10/12/13. 1806 was in service today in old shuttle livery, it was stopped for repaint at about 1730 therefore meaning today was the last day of the Red/White Shuttle livery. 1805/6/11 must be away for repaint, i believe work has now started on the Zone darts with one in the paintshop today of which i believe to be 706.

Are the Darts to be painted green and blue, or receive an updated Zone livery?

Dart 706 is now out in the new blue/green livery. On the front of the bus, the fleetname reads Transdev in Keighley, whereas previous repaints simply have Transdev.

And the TransBus badge has been removed to accommodate the fleet number. Shuttle 1811 now complete, only 1805/6 to go!

Shuttle 1805 was completed last week, 1806 was noted back today so that concludes the Shuttle repaint programme.

I don't think the livery suits the B10s as well as the B7s/Darts

I do, I think it looks a lot better than the previous livery

I'm with G547 on this. The new Transdev livery really suits the body profile of the B10's.

I think it is when people are too used to seeing buses in one livery & all of a sudden there is change. I have been speaking to a lot of people that don't like the green livery & Shuttle livery on any K&D bus not just the B10's and they said it doesn't suit the bus very well, I think it will grow on people when they see it more.

I keep seeing lots of Centrebuses and Huddersfield Bus Co Buses although, I can recognise them without doubt but I am no fan of the colour scheme.

Prefer the Keighley green/blue livery to that imposed on the Harrogate vehicles and the shuttles - the butterscotch is too much like road dirt and Harrogates vehicles looked pretty awful last winter once they had been out on the road for an hour or so as the butterscotch started visually merging into the maroon rear - it will be interesting to see what the shuttles look like once the weather turns.

Most passengers, particularly the older generation hate the new colours. "When are they going to stop painting them in this stupid green livery?" they keep asking...

The Shuttle has to be one of the worst designed liveries of all time
