First Bradford bus in Blue and Cream livery.

I've noticed this week that there is a First bus in Bradford with the old Blue and Cream livery and the city of Bradford crest on it's side.

Can anybody on here tell me why?

First have painted a number of buses in 'heritage' colour schemes, these being old corporation colours or those of companies that have disappeared. 37674 looks fantastic in Yorkshire Rider livery!

There is also now a Gemini in Huddersfield red, which will replace the Olympian that has carried it since 2008 and is now living in borrowed time.

First Norfolk and Suffolk also have three buses painted up in heritage liveries...

32479 is, of course, Eastern Counties not Ipswich.

The message I was intending to portray was which depot they were allocated to... of course you are correct with regards to which is carried!

I've seen that, First have made a good job of fusing the traditional heritage liveries together with it's modern design. Works quite nicely, I rather wish they'd roll out traditional / local schemes across the country.

Kernow could be In Western National Blue / Cream or Red / White & Blue!

They do have two heritage liveries with GWR brown and cream as well as WN Tilling green so a nod to the past
