The new livery does look very smart, however, it seems to have taken away the company’s individuality, which I suppose is to be expected now they are part of the Go-Ahead Group. I wonder if all the branding was removed would it still be instantly recognisable as Plymouth CityBus?
So the livery somewhat resembles ONE of Go-Ahead's SIXTEEN other bus operations.
It must be a conspiracy to introduce a corporate identity, I mean how dare two bus companies who've traditionally had red based liveries both end up with rebrands that shock horror, contain red?!
I like 'typical corporation liveries' at least then they look like a bus not a mobile boudoir! That said, it at least better than First and Stagecoach liveries even if uncannily similar to Oxford! One and a half cheers.

What a pity the haven't tought about the adverts that get plastered over the sides of the buses, its going to half cover there lovely new logo.
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one who feels it looks just like a red version of the Southampton UniLink livery?

ReplyDeleteI think the go ahead corporate identity is taking over, very much like the oxford bus company
ReplyDeleteWow a smart livery! A much improved livery over the typical corporation livery.
ReplyDeleteI do feel that exterior advertising will be a thing of the past apart from overall adverts!
Why should a bus market other companies' products over its own!
Well done go-ahaed and still using Plymouth colours of red and white!

Is it just me that thinks the new livery has introduced a new fleetname of City. The "Plymouth" and "bus" almost seem an irrelevance to the livery!
