Arriva 11: R10 WAL was over the pits at Cut End in Interurban Livery. Not seen it in Service but it is definitely in Interurban Livery
I think this makes 11 the first Arriva Yorkshire None Low Floor easy access bus to be treated this way.

I heard about this about a week ago from someone off Flickr who had seen it running on the 128.

It wasn't exactly a week ago I checked my E-mail and it was seen 4 days ago. He defiantly saw it on the 128; plus he doesn't live near the depot or know any Arriva drivers etc. so he must of seen it.

I actally saw it there. Is there another painted then. 11 was due to return to Service today after it's MOT, I can't see it being in Service without a MOT. |

Ikarus 11 was on the 212/128/205 on Saturday as I actually caught this bus on Saturday and it WASN'T in interurban livery. It was again on the 212/128/205 again today.

I thought the standard arriva livery made the Ikarus buses look so ugly but the interurban livery makes them look fantastic, hopefully they'll do the ex aztecbird Polaris ones too aka RJJ/RJO

I Caught it on the 212 out of Wakefield at 12:00 and it also run the 18:00 out of Wakefield that same day so would have arrived into Dewsbury at 19:10. And must have gone straight to the depot? If thats the case then they painted it very quickly I did notice today that they hadn't painted the roof.

They havent painted the roofs on a few buses at dewsbury, 186 still has the grey roof from war time livery and a number of alx 200's havent had their roofs painted and u can see from the front on some of them and on 195 the doors havent been painted. |

I only saw the rear but the Darker Blue skirt was painted and I am sure the blue had been added to the front. Drove home from Dewsbury 20 mins and started the tread @ 7:45. It must have been washed and painted direct from service. |

Not sure about the interiors some have the arriva fabric some carry what they came with. 54 is much nicer than the rest. the Ikarus at Dewsbury 11 R10 WAL - what it came with 13 R69 GNW - what it came with 29 M819 MCP - Arriva trim 53 N51 NWX - Arriva trim 54 P202 RUM - what it came with but much nicer than the rest 56 N52 NWX - Arriva Trim |

Saw the bus on the 253 this morning. It looks smart, but think the Cotswold stone "cow's horns" swoop seems a bit narrow.

I wonder if that's got something to do with where the original paintwork was split between the Cotswold Stone and Aquamarine. Some of the repaints into Arriva livery, which 11 was, had a much lager sections of Cotswold Stone than others |
