Volvo B9TL - Wright Eclipse Gemini - SV08FYC

37644 was one of the first buses in Aberdeen to receive the new corporate livery. While I'm not necessarily the greatest fan of the overall palette that's been used I do reckon that nevertheless it's a huge step forward. It looks a lot fresher for want of a better word, and the use of the brighter magenta for detailing and the fleet names just picks things out in a bit more refined way than the huge magenta blocks on the old livery did, which was just overpowering I think. The light grey base on the old livery wasn't something I was a fan of either as it just always seemed to make the buses look dirty even when they were spotlessly clean. The base colour for this (not as easy to see in this photo I guess) is actually now a very pale lavender and looks a lot cleaner.

 

Still curious to see what this will look like on the bendies, reckon it will suit them well if done properly.
