\u00a0\u00a0… Normally (?) Red, Green or Blue<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n … and the colour found its way onto a Southern Vectis FLF!<\/p>\n Pennine Motors were half orange and very smart they looked …<\/p>\n … but the big entry into citrus shades cane with S E L N E C PTE in the greater Manchester area.<\/p>\n The theory was that, in a line of parked buses, the orange stripes should be even and near continuous.<\/p>\n With the rebranding it all became Greater Manchester with more orange and of a richer saturation …<\/p>\n … a shade maintained for the pre-privatisation GM Buses.<\/p>\n Next in line was Greater Glasgow PTE …<\/p>\n … with double deckers enhanced by black round the lower deck windows. Interesting.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n Both Manchester and Glasgow painted their trains in the same colours including the delightfully quaint “Subway”.<\/p>\n The white stripe also gave relief to Cardiff Corporation’s orange.<\/p>\n fbb thinks that Cardiff was the only operator to use the colour as part of a quirky pro-bus advertising campaign.<\/p>\n Later, in the privatized era, the orange was twinned with dark green …<\/p>\n … but it was a minority tinge probably to satisfy the nostalgia freaks!<\/p><\/div>\n … and it really did promote the brand!<\/p>\n Also promotionally distinct is the Irish Railways livery …<\/p>\n … both complementing and highlighting the scenery of the Emerald Isle.<\/p>\n And. talking of orange and green, how about this non stylish effort for New World buses in Hong King.<\/p>\n And just to challenge us all, the Berlin Underground seems to have gone from orange (right) to yellow (left).<\/p>\n Ot would you have called the old livery “darker yellow”?<\/p><\/div>\n Aaaah! Delicious!!<\/p><\/div>\n Maybe like this?<\/p>\n Some massive manifestation of supernatural power (remember he is God – he can do what and how he likes<\/span>!”) spoke to them and made the world’s most Outstanding Offer<\/span>\u00a0to the Shepherds!<\/p>\n
