The buses here have the exact same livery. Minus the yellow front. (and doors are same color as body)

All part of the same Arriva empire, I suppose. All UK trains have to have yellow fronts and backs; it's a safety thing.

In the Netherlands trains have to have a contrasting front - so we had the weird situation that we have a green museum train, and a new train they repainted in the exact same livery are different because the new train has yellow bars at front - because it doesn't have the grandfather rights the museum train has.

(Ow, the one with the stripes hit a trainspotter and killed it - on the last day it was in the green (with stripes) livery - last photo he'd ever made)

Moral of story - make sure you're not standing on the track when taking photos of a train...

while this comment has a high "well duh" factor, many people don't get this (or they wear a yellow safety vest, thinking that will protect them from an oncoming train.)

Did you ever notice that Arriva livery is almost identical to an Anusol tube?

I'll take your word for it, Inventor. ;-)
I find their colour scheme a bit dull, to be honest. Conversely, when they splash it about at their railway stations (Bangor being a case in point), it looks too garish.
