Have to say, I'm not a fan of the 'Olympia Hybrid' livery.
Saw it in the flesh for the first time today, and not only does it appear to use the same uninspiring colours as the regular Olympia scheme, but it just looks like they've applied a base coat, started adding the rest from the back and lost interest.
Were it not for Arriva's plain sky blue, this would be a shoe in for most dismal livery.

It looks pretty decent when they do it correctly I wonder if this means the return of the original livery or if it is just a one off for the 398/399

Not just some cheap BTech, Discounted, Scammed version from wish. Nothing wrong with Arriva's livery though.

Arriva's new livery has got to be one of the most bland, uninspiring and quite frankly terribly designed liveries I've ever seen.

Username is correct on this, the main reason the "HD Connect" branding was "shrunk" on the Gemini's was because the original branding covered more than one panel. Which means should a panel become damaged it's easier and quicker now just to replace or rebrand one panel than several as before.

I have to say that Arriva's "journey mark" livery looks a lot brighter and fresher than the previous dull as ditchwater "interurbane" livery though. We all have different opinions (rightly so), but let's get back on topic and stick to First.

There'll be loads of mourners qon here soon. It would be nice to see it back as YR but it probably won't, also Brian Parkin was a good friend of mine as, I have said before, I was his Halifax correspondent back in t'day. Any chance of delaying its departure to HP until Wednesday, as I'm coming to the Old Farts gathering at the Old Post Office on Tuesday the 7th?? Lol. Also Danny, has Kevin Casey been transferred to another bus since 36292's demise. Cheers.

I guess good things have to come to an end at some point but there has been other operators in the UK who have withdrawn or repainted older heritage liveried buses then repainted newer ones. First Huddersfield is one and some other First fleet down south I think. Michael Windle
