2126 was back out on the 31/2 yesterday, being the first NXWM B7RLE to receive the new branding.

Is it just me but has anyone else noticed how shabby the crimson livery looks on some buses now it's started to fade.

There's a very noticeable difference between early repaints and current ones. Earlier buses are very dull in colour!

4879 crimson'd and out in service today

Just saw a photo of it on the X22

What's happened to 2137? Seems to have been in paint a long time.

The earliest ones are now 3 and a half years old so with constant washing and UV effect would be expected to go dull eventually. The original cycle was quoted as 5 yrs so if that still applies, the earliest ones would be repainted in 2020.

The other thing I've noticed is the effect of lighting conditions - sometimes a bus can look almost matt in colour, in another light you can see a shine. Also the earliest Platinums still look very tidy.

I was wondering if it might appear in a different colour...... dark blue and cream?

No. Just had both RTC repairs and some engine problems stopping it moving around. It will be crimson

Any chance of a BCT livery at some point in time. Call me an old nostalgic but that would be great.

Would rather see a WMPTE livery, we had 2872, 3030 etc in BCT not so long back, and more people would remember WMPTE livery than BCT.

I'd second that. That livery would look very good on, say, an Enviro.

I reckon this WMPTE DP Leyland National livery would look smart on a single decker:

Hint of ageism there B.C.! Still some of us around who can remember 9 JML!
