Its been Confirmed that a "Special Bus" will be at the Heath Common on 13th July. To me thats a repained West Riding Livered bus to celebrate 110 years of West Riding.

I heard it was supposed to be kept under WRAPS until the day of the event! Will anyone get their knuckles WRAPPED for letting the cat out of the bag

B7RLE 1107 is back after it's accident in interurban livery with no route branding. It has 254/255 branding now. As per some of the other recent repaints no sign of any fleet numbers. There seems to be too many of these now with 254/255 branding?

I hear 1508 in its new wrapped zipped style livery should be on display in Wakefield today, but not necessarily in the bus Station

My thoughts exactly! Shame as that livery (what left at the back) really does sit well. Michael Windle The only anniversary livery Arriva got right was for YWD when they had 186 in the war grey then the original maroon livery. Whoever the bright spark who came up with and selected this idea needs shooting. They should have asked the customers to have a say even giving us the option to look at the ideas and adapt them slightly then choosing the final WR 110th Anniversary livery (Advise to the moderators and anyone else before blasting me, think about what if this had happened to your favourite firm e.g. first, tates, tlc etc. I'm sure you would be furious and embrassed at this monstrosity caused by Arriva). i believe the 2 liveries given to Arriva (ie Red & Green heritage style) were both full mock ups, and Arriva have added the zip etc. TBH they have had enough experience doing this style of livery now (United, at least 2 Midlands in part Sapphire etc), so why haven't they got this one right?

They shouldn't 'ask the public first', most wouldn't care and Arriva should be able to do a livery themselves.
It's the Arriva livery they've messed up here, the blue skirt doesn't seem to be the right colour, the yellow band is too thick and is wrong at the front. The West Riding fleet name clashing with a light isn't great either, neither is the grille still being blue.

I think it looks OK, a bit quirky and different. At least Arriva have made some sort of effort. Anything's better than the standard boring "interurbane" anyway.

I dont remember the West Riding days too well, so couldn't give 2 hoots about what it looks like. As long as the bus remained punctual, it could be covered in mud for most people.

Seems like they dont wont to admit Kirklees arent important although it was YWD that ran a bus service between batley, dewsbury and pinderfields founded by the earl of wilton and other dignitarys. They forgot? ?? Haha I sent them messages last year asking of they were celebrating the 110 years of Yorkshire buses after seeing dewsbury reporter who did a full page spread about it. Their reply then was "we have no plans at the moment" haha Sent from my GT-N7100 using proboards

I wouldn't get too excited if they do something it will probably be in the zip livery and look cr*p like 1508.

Well on monday I'm going to ask if the public and sone twitter/facebook followers can pick the design. Like I've stated two buses from dewsbury & heckmondwike in YWD & YORKSHIRE BUSES liveries done before Christmas will be nice and festive (YORKSHIRE BUSES is classed as YWD as the original town councils had this as the name to be used after a good while). What is Yorkshire buses? Are they 'real'
