That 'Midland Green', should cause a a few double-takes and turned heads working the 144, especially when the full vinyl graphics applied. Smart enough even as it is! Are the headrests trimmed in white or wearing protective plastic covers?

Not sure yet Tim, I was in a hurry so just took a couple of shots without looking inside.

It certainly is a major transformation in appearance compared to it's previous "barbie" livery ! It will brighten up the appearance of buses along the A38, and at Crowngate too.

In answer to Tim’s question... The seats are trimmed in cloth but the headrests are in leather. These are not covers. There are also USB charging points built into the seat backs for the person behind to use, so if your battery is low don’t sit at the front.
