Are all Buses going Red & white, because theres a livery on the PB enviros which looks amazing and would be a shame if they went. If this is the case will PB's Ominicitys be re-painted

Unless NXWM adopt the all over red livery then it looks like everything will be red & white.

But, Ray Stenning of the Best Impressions agency who design for Go-Ahead, Stagecoach and Trent amongst others was spotted attending meetings with NX Bus Directors yesterday at the Coach Station. So maybe watch this space for another new livery....

If this is the case, that's the most interesting piece of NXWM news I've heard in a long time!

You must mean the old 'toothpaste' livery?

I'd go along with the other comments.  Ray Stenning and Best Impressions have produced some of the best modern liveries for both buses and trains.  I'm sure they'd come up with something a lot better than the insipid red and white, or the dull all-red experiment.

Ray Stenning would do a great job at NXWM and Im sure he'd bring back BLUE as with all the other liveries he's ensured there's a return to the company's original colour. Tho, the new branding especially on the 51/X51/33/X96 looks absolutely amazing. Colourful at front to help identify buses which can be difficult especially for the non bus enthusiast. Clear, concise and cheerful branding giving information. Anyone know which other routes are going to have this branding?

Has it 4524 had an interior refurb?

Looks like it, if you look at the photo of it operating the 11A and compare it with the most recent of it on the 87 the top deck seats in particular look to be covered in a much darker fabric, possibly the fabric on the new B7's and Enviro's but I can't be certain

Well let's hope that the colours don't fade in the amount of time they have on most of the other repaints.

Thought so-it looks fantastic. NXWM seem to be using a different type of moquette at the moment on the new dark blue/2006 onwards colours and TWM moquette. Its softer maybe meaning its got less wool in it but feels completely different to that on other recently refurbished buses...
