The Drawline Livery chosen for Midland Red North

The Drawline bus livery chosen by Ray Stenning for Midland Red North looked rather attractive on the recently rebodied Tigers. The yellow and red dual-purpose version was perhaps better but I felt it fell down as the buses looked a bit too much like some of Midland Red West and even PMT. Stafford ran many of these new creations of both lenths including B103KPF which still looked new when it arrived from Crewe complete with front wheel trims, a real rarity by then but made it look much more tidy.
