‘Scene in Leeds, ‘First Bus’ 1 on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

The use of a mainly green livery in Leeds by the main operator ‘First Bus’ is appropriate being the choice of the original ‘Leeds City Transport’ albeit in a much darker shade.

 

‘First’ group for the last ten years or so have become a rigid user of a fleet livery which has been described as boring.

 

Only in recent years has the paint box been opened and a kaleidoscope of colour has been set free.

 

An image of what the ‘norm’ was then.

Many ‘First Bus’ subsidiaries now use colour branding over the complete front of a bus.

 

‘Leedscity’ only uses colour branding on the front and sides of the upper deck.
