That new colour scheme (I will not dignify it by calling it a “livery”) is 
quite atrocious.  Even worse than the various Barbie incarnations, and they 
take some beating.  Who on earth “designed” it ?

First Cymru has resurrected the “South Wales / De Cymru” fleetname, which was 
last used by the original South Wales Transport in National Bus Company days 
but gradually phased out following the company’s privatisation in 1987.

 

It has so far only appeared on a number of the Pointer-bodied Darts that have 
been repainted in the new corporate livery, and which have also received 
branding for Service 36 (Swansea City Centre-Clase-Morriston).

 

42609 displays the nearside English language fleetname parked in a wet Swansea 
City Bus Station in September 2012, and 42610 shows the offside Welsh language 
equivalent whilst loading on Swansea’s West Way in October 2012.  Note that 
42609 also carries a small “First South Wales” fleetname above the door, though 
this is not replicated above the driver’s window on 42610.
