TigerBlue isn't bad. Especially as it roars against the competition

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

This version of the First livery is very smart and in my opinion suits the new Gemini 3 body well. Certainly the smartest looking Streetdeck I've seen by far:

It would appear that this is one of a batch of eight going to Wells to upgrade service 376 to Bristol and convert it from single- to double-deck operation.  I agree that it looks good.

I like the angular front end in that guise. Very nice, disguises the shorter upper saloon windows

Seconded; the new FirstBus livery looks immaculate on newer buses - Not my photos, credit to owners etc...

...but in particular, that UniBus livery is my favourite - loving that shade of blue.

That E200MMC for the Unibus looks excellent - the other thing I like is the use of the black surrounds on the lights. Still think the NX E200MMCs would look good with the black surrounds; Scanias would look even better if after refurb if they kept the Silver surrounds (or had them painted black - D&M have that on their Scanias and it looks great).
