Electric Buses

[BlackCountryBusSpotter]

They moan about tyre rubber pollution too that lot, tiny particles killing us , some will come up with green rubber made from recycled plastic coke bottles

The Irony is they all sit in front of Traffic causing emissions and burning fuel, those Veichles will then need to go to a i don't know oh yes a Petrol Station which uses Oil the exact thing they are trying to stop.


Back on Topic If NX wanted to continue with 1 paint tone there was nothing wrong with Crimson and Blueson and the Hertiage Liveries would have been the only ones to use more than more tone. Maybe a revised Crimson as it was two tone I believe. But maybe a Maroon. Also the Franchising Colours should be the Red as it is marketed on the TFWM Website. Buses in red, Trams Blue, Trains Purple. And WA and WB already have veichles in that Livery from Parternship routes. So all it would take is all of them to be painted into that colour scheme and it would be done.

And further back on Topic, Surely the EV's could be painted Green to recognise they are Green Veichles Green with Platnium Decals, The Hydrogens could be painted Green to. Now NX don't own Dundee and the Hybrids had that Livery when they were new surely the EV's could be Green.

i think the lightning bolts and "zero emissions" decals do enough to signify the vehicle is green

Green would look a lot better than grey. Even some green decals on the grey would lighten it up.

flies in the face of colour theory.

Yes, even flies on the faces of buses would add colour.

grey with red and green accents would not work well, not in the way you guys are proposing. without changes needing to be made

To all members

PLEASE let's get this back on topic very quickly, there are plenty of other threads for discussing paints and liveries.

Well if he wants all the buses painting that's a fifth of his budget gone. He reckons franchising will cost him 25 million, Manchester has already spent 5 million on repaints

You know the BeeNetwork is 5 million just on the repaints or is that with the interior refurbs too?
