There's a few of that batch that's had the "original" HD Connect livery for a couple of years now, and it's beginning to look a little bit scruffy 32512 springs to mind. Unsure if 32514 had the "original" HD Connect branding, but has certainly undergone a repaint into the "updated" version recently, hence why i posted. Is it possible you saw it in the "original" HD branding? |

A few vehicles in Halifax still look quite fresh. |

There are pleanty of people in this forum who don't live in Bradford or West Yorkshire so they will have no idea what depot that belongs to. Suddenly it's a problem when I do something completely harmless and people give me attitude and then suddenly when I retaliate to comments like this I recieve all the blame. |

Chill out. For what it's worth, i found your comment helpful. |

Pictured today on Firstbus Enthusiats Facebook by Chris Munden I've noticed that the quality of repaints on HD/HX liveries has been slipping (Odd logo placement, missing stripes and etc...) Since that post mentions that the urban livery has been reintroduced, I'm guessing that means HX connect could be scrapped? |

Well if it is then what a waste of money that could and should be spent recruiting drivers, paying more to retain drivers and even saving bus services! How much did they spend on coming up with the design to start with, then all the repaints, including recent ones only for the livery to be scrapped after what must only be a year in Halifax! |

Wouldn't shock me, First loves to burn money repainting buses just to repaint them back to the standard first livery a couple years later. Examples just in Huddersfield... Zest, Holme Valley, Heritage and now the X63!  |
