They've also got rid of the grey ish stripe, it saves time and money when repainting the panel and as the HD Connect now sits in the stretch panel, half doesn't need replacing if a panel it used to sit on got damaged and replaced.

Wonder if Halifax will adopt this for their HX Connect branding then.

It looks wrong like they’ve fitted a fleetname from a different type of vehicle, like when Gemini buses used to receive smaller ‘skyline’ logos meant for ALX400s
The loss of the wedge part of the urban livery makes it look more basic as well, clearly it’s been rolled out on a minimal budget

They have 32534 has the smaller fleetnames I wish they had put Halifax connect & Huddersfield Connect instead of HX & HD this means nothing to anyone from out of the area.

I doubt you need a degree to work out what HX or HD means

Wish they kept that livery! It was really simple but it looked absolutely amazing. Does anybody know why they even removed it?

It wouldn't look too bad if they'd have bothered to paint it correctly.

I think it’s look better if they did the lights in dark blue
Also as the bus has no advert frame, it could have a big fleetname on the lower sides
