I thought it might be more appropiate to discuss the new liveries and branding seperate from the main bus movements page.

Would be a lot better in my opinion if the wave continued as a line between the two shades of blue to the front. Somehow doesn't have the striking impact of the previous livery and does seem to be half finished, or is that to leave space for Transdev in Leeds, Transdev in York, Transdev in Malton, Transdev in the North Sea...

Not sure but I think I saw another Coastliner Gem in this new Livery as it has a different "saying" at the rear. We went that fast I didnt make out what it said but deffo wasnt 403.

I like it, looks better then the other one. Also i think this one is to fit in with the Livery that has been applied to the Sole B7RLE and Versas in york for the 844/743 routes.
Just a quick question while where on Coastliner, when does the Summer timetables get published.

Yet another new livery for Harrogate and District Already has been referred to here (under Transdev Bus Movements page 6) Anyone have any photos of the 04 Reg Volvo B7RLE eclipse urbans now in Route 36 branding and livery? Theres only 1, 1800, which was originally delivered in the old 36 livery and has been returned to 36 branding. Have a look on Flickr www.flickr.com/photos/23137045@N00/4012383356/in/set-72157622856769773/

Keighley & District B7 451 YJ05FNK is now out in the new blue/lime green, making it the ninth (and IMO the best) livery in the current fleet. However it doesn't look to be completed as the back is blank, would assume it to have some sort of advert similar to the Mainline/36 buses.

The problem for me is that Keighley & District have used the blue and white colour scheme for the last 20 years. Now they are changing to lime green for no particular reason except for the current owners wanting to make their mark.
There is no press launch, no new buses, enough vehicles in defunct liveries as it is, and Transdev's very limited paintshop facilities, meaning the roll out of this livery will take years and years and just cause confusion in the interim.
You don't get Tesco's changing from blue/red to lime green for the sake of it

I'm hoping the new livery combined with the new name marks a change in the strategy for Transdev. They have been complacent for far too long and lost the innovation that Blazefield excelled at. As a regular user of Keighley & District its evident that Transdev have cut costs wherever possible, and PR isn't exactly their strong point, which would explain a lack of press launch.

Green and blue are Transdevs corporate colours as per inflicted on the Trandevised fleetnames, which always look(ed) very odd on B&P and H&D vehicles. The chance of the whole fleet getting treated is I would think exceptionally slim given the likely merger with Veolia, the latter are to be the operational side so the odds must be on all the buses having Veolia inflicted on them and bland all over red.

B6BLE 605 has acquired the mustard and maroon livery with Transdev in H on its sides akin to the Keighley vehicles so its quickly spread beyond the route 1 vehicles despite the comments on the H&D website asking for peoples views.

Does that mean Keighley darts 779 and 848 will gain lime green and blue if they get a repaint?
