Bus park in Newham by airport

[Clip]

Was just on the DLR earlier and noticed there is a large amount of First buses parked in an open space just opposite the airport. In a horrible purple livery too - anyone have any idea why they are there?

Could you define this "horrible purple livery"?

 

[Clip]

Yeah.

Its purple. And its horrible.

Maybe you could say it was lilac with more purple wording but i didnt like it.

It's the Olympic Shuttle Fleet. Most of the First 2012 vehichle order After the games they'll go on to their final destinations.

They carry the text "your games SHUTTLE" in the style of the new First livery. They also have brown leather seats.

Plymouth got some E400s in this scheme and they have been put to work on Park and Rides complete with First Games Transport Legals and branding!

Ahh I see. Went past again this morning and could make out shuttle on the side but nothing else.

I stand corrected - it's "your venue shuttle"
