Does anyone know anything about Eclipse 66997? It looks different to the other Eclipse(s) put into Leeds City Style. Overall, the rear darker green portion seems to come further forward but the front 50cm or so of it doesn’t come down as far as the skirt. There is also a hood the the of darker green, over the cab, destination and entrance doors, unlike on the other(s) - sorry, not sure exactly how many examples have been done. Perhaps they are just experimenting with different styles on the single deck bodies? Going back to the Yorkshire Rider days, after an initial period the single deck livery was very different to double deck, with the big red blocks at the rear forming the logo. There were variations in Yorkshire Rider a lot of double deck repaints mainly Roe bodied Atlanteans & Fleetlines had the green of the lower deck window surrounds extend deeper. They are probably after painting the first (69348) making adjustments to future B7RLE repaint to suit the body style.

So the extra dark green on 66997 is the route branding as used on the new StreetDecks on the 49/50, with the additional dark green covering the same areas as the red for Headingley Lane routes, dark blue for Roundhay/Middleton and orange for the X26/27.

"32531 new in Zest for Halifax ex Olympia" Must be 32521, as 32531 has just come to Todmorden depot tonight for us to use as our decker for the 589s for the next few weeks and is nice and fresh in Olympia livery.

The extra green on the front is correct, the extra green on the rear wedge is awaiting the light green vinyl strip to be olaced over, to divide it into a stripe & wedge

37300 is returning to Huddersfield today in Holme Valley Connect livery. Oh okay, sorry, it’s just somebody posted a pic of it saying they had just seen it and it was in heritage a couple of days ago.

Would say its a bit of a puzzle as regards these heritage liveried buses. Reported that the YR one has been tidied up whilst in works, including paintwork, on First Bus Enthusiasts FB site. But then you get Huddersfield repainting theirs in fleet livery. Hopefully, nobody else does the same, we shall but see.

Unless Huddersfield are planning on painting a different bus into heritage colours? Maybe a Streetlite or B7RLE as something different?

In all honesty Tim, I don't think they are. 37300 wasn't too bad paint-wise, unlike some of the 324xx batch which transferred across from Leeds earlier this year, I would have thought they would have taken priority for repaint given the scruffy condition of some of them. But, maybe First Huddersfield's management has adopted a similar "downer" on heritage liveries same as FGM did. They had about 7 or 8 buses in various heritage liveries, but very quickly were repainted back into olympia. FSY had a few heritage repaints as well, are they still in those colour's, or gone back to olympia?
