I think it’s very pleasing on the eye. Looking forward to seeing it in person. the front around the headlights ruins it. That part should have been left black or painted silver. I agree it isn't my cup of tea and looks very strange compared to the others I seen from other depots, for me though its okay im very split on it. Noticed there isn't no black rear lights too but apart from that it looks really nice. Now I wonder what it will be used on

Wakefield depot bus 1074 has been repainted in to New Sapphire Livery in St Helens You might want to read the previous posts, most of which talk about this re-paint, before someone puts 'really? Well I never, I'd have never guessed going by the previous posts' or ' keep up' or 'I'm seeing double' or 'kindly read the previous posts first before posting'. Hopefully you won't see any of these now I've stated them lol.

On doing some research there's only one other Arriva depot that e200MMCs and that's Arriva Kent Thameside that have a few but the front is a darker shade of blue like the streetdecks and hecky's vehicles in the upgrade sapphire livery and with the headlights in black.

Yeah I also found that Arriva East Midlands have 2 in the sapphire livery too and I can tell some of the differences

You've also got the same problem with Streetlites at the other operations (both WF & DF) where the "MAX" and old Sapphire liveries don't suit the vehicle where as the new corporate livery & old hyybrid livery suits it.

I find 1074 looking completely different compered to other Arriva E200 MMCs since they were brand new. Fair play to St Helen's paintshop though, they did a cracking job making the bus looking completely different without any black surrounds on her.

Just been hearing rumours that both Optare Solo SRs from Yorkshire Tiger 409 YJ15 AYC and 410 YJ15 AYD are now at St Helen's to be repainted into new Arriva livery and are due for Heckmondwike depot.

If bustimes is correct, it appears 1070 and 1071 are the next to get a repaint. Cannot confirm it as can be not accurate.

I wonder whether they will be refurbished? It would seem odd having vehicles with orange interiors within the mainstream Arriva fleet. This may already have happened though.

Well when MPD 262 returned back to Selby & Wakefield it had Tiger seats for a while and got retrimmed at beginning of 2019 and still has the "welcome aboard Yorkshire Tiger" message on the wheelchair ramp. 406-410 will more than likely get the "MAX" e-leather seats considering they have wifi and USB charging points. I think the big problem though is the wood effect flooring on these, 791-795 and 1070-1075 are more leathal for slipping risk when wet compared to standard flooring.

I believe that it might not be route branded as most of the bus routes interwork with each other. It was mentioned in the other thread. In my opinion, if arriva plans for timetable changes then it may get branded.
