I did not think the standards for liveries could go any lower, I've just seen E181 in service today and it's yet another permutation of the livery but even worse. the side stripe doesn't even go the entire height of the bus anymore, it's literally ONLY on the space between the adboard and top and bottom windows, the front-side red and grey electric branding (above the door) doesn't extend to the front anymore and is cut off where the panel stops, the front electric branding is omitted, as well as the rear-side stripes. the grey pinstripe that goes along the headlights to the rear of the bus has gaps with no pinstripe in it.

i've just looked at pictures of the bus online and, its in a worse shape now than it was in february? but it's only just entered service? it's as if these stickers have been manually removed with no replacement, because it looks "adequate" in past photos.

the red stripe also isn't even symmetrical, it goes up the height of the bus on one side, but not on the other. what actually gives? i'm not even complaining i just genuinely want to know what on earth happened here

Give it chance. It's just been return from Alexander Dennis after serious RTC repairs, the rest of the livery is on order, but A-D don't stock our vinyls

I see, that makes complete sense now, I was unsure about the history of the bus. Believed it was brand new to service

@Celestial Toymaker carrying on the discussion, I believe NX should at least pride their vehicles a little more. In my opinion, they should've kept the red diamond branding, especially for the buses that have lost their route branding. I think that way the ghost branding wouldn't been as visible, alongside just make the buses presentable.
