Looks rather nice to be fair, also looks like one shade  of grey like the zenobe 8 ev buses, plus the £4 daysaver branding bit of a waste

if the new livery is one shade of the platinum grey it should help speed up repaints/refurb process and keep costs down which is key now.

It is not one shade of grey, it is exactly the same as the single decks.

Looks quite smart, you wouldn't think this was a 10 year old bus.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

Not a fan of that drab grey livery but at least the red detailing below the windscreens on the front improves it a little - the earlier B7RLE repaints didn't have this. It help breaks up the expanse of primer grey.

Interested to see what future route branding might look like on this livery - possibly similar to the current effort but angled to work with the diagonal red/blue stripe?

i only saw the driver side picture and it looks one color to me,  one shade of grey would be just as good imo with todays viynl wraps anything is possible.
