My Welsh is not the best, but it looks like the paragraph on the side should read something like 'to make your journey today brighter'. Shame they didnt translate the 'Sapphire' on the side to 'Saffir'. The old 'Cross River' branding on the upper deck window is still rather noticeable, but I must admit it does look good!

Looks absolutely superb. A huge improvement on the hybrid green livery in my view.

Livery does look good,could of done a better job removing the old Cross River Branding,but i guess over time it will fade away.Liking the coach seating,looks to be the same sort of seats used on the re-ferbished Trandev Harrogate Wright Geminis (Im guessing arriva havent gone for the 2+1 Seating upstairs),i was thinking the might of done something similer to trandev & update the front bumpers with the newer style.Very Big upgrade from the MPDs & Wright Pulsers - well done arriva

That looks fantastic! What a brilliant job, and a huge improvement for the 1!

They wouldn't have been able to upgrade the bumpers like Transdev because these are Enviro400s, not old style Geminis.

It's not a massive change though is it, I don't think any other operators have upgraded Enviro400 bumpers.

Is there any significant reason why they would need to change the corner sections of the bumpers in the first place? The money invested into each is already substantial enough. I very much doubt new fluted corner panels would be deemed a value added step...
