Not green–but pink

It seems that rumours of green fronts for the next batch of Park & Ride repaints were just that- rumours!
The first repainted B7 is 60910 and features the same bright pink front as the other Park & Ride buses. I know opinion is divided on these but I rather like them. If anything it suits these single deckers better than the doubles...
