Arriva Buses Wales - Rhyl Depot

RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Rhyl Depot
Sounds like the MAX specification for the buses , was just like the Inter-urban livery which also became the standard livery for vehicles .

The problem being is that even this livery that they sorted seems to have some differing versions , so i dont hold out much hope about all the max and sapphire specs being the same over the coming time .

I think the point that is being made is that the current standard specification of Interurban livery, leatherette seats and Wi-Fi is similar to MAX spec rather than MAX is now standard. Certainly, I would be very surprised if all future repaints and deliveries are to be MAX livery as it makes the branding completely redundant.

There is a small difference in quality in that MAX buses have high-backed seating and different coloured leatherette seating, but I would agree that it's not much of a step up from standard. For what it's worth, I also think the MAX livery is fairly dire.

For me the MAX livery is a revert back to the old standard livery but with a different front colour, especially on the double deckers.

2652 isn't finished yet, vinyls will be applied once all 7 pulsars have been refurbished and painted. 2649-2653 will be MAX Branded for service 51, 2654 & 2655 will be MAX branded but with no service branding.

Conbus is correct, the idea of MAX is for frequent, well used routes. Leather seats and WiFi may become standard on new buses but the MAX branding is just a name for the well used, frequent routes. Also MAX don't have plugs or USB ports.

Usually engine or gearbox work.
