We have heard reports from First that it is Norwich's turn to begin to receive the long awaited new livery. On the 26th of January last year, First Group Plc launched their new scheme entitled "Better Journeys for Life". Here is an extract from an article on the Passenger Transport website, published on the release of the new scheme:
33003 - Could this be the first bus in the Norwich fleet to wear the new colours? |
First's nationwide repainting scheme is due to finish in 2017. This gives them four more years to have every single bus in the fleet in the refreshed livery.
Norfolk and Suffolk have already been introduced to the new local livery, with several buses in Lowestoft, Ipswich and more recently Great Yarmouth have been given the refreshed paint job. FirstNorwich state that they hope that the first buses to be given the new look will be the Presidents that work the Purple Line; most commonly seen on the 36 or 37 with an odd but rare appearance on the 38. Repaints should commence from the second half of September.
Thanks to FirstNorwich for letting us know.
