Livery
To create a visual continuity between the tram fleets and local bus services, Edinburgh tram vehicles will have the same livery as that of Lothian Buses. The prototype CAF trams seen to date have all been decorated with the "harlequin" design which was introduced on Lothian Buses in the 1990s. Following the announcement of a rebranding of the bus fleet in April 2010, Lothian Buses are reintroducing their traditional madder and white livery, and the Edinburgh tram fleet will now be painted in a matching colour scheme.

Famous quotes containing the word livery:
“Whether, if you yield not to your father’s choice,
You can endure the livery of a nun,
For aye to be in shady cloister mewed,
To live a barren sister all your life,
Chanting faint hymns to the cold fruitless moon.
Thrice blessed they that master so their blood
To undergo such maiden pilgrimage.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“This death’s livery which walled its bearers from ordinary life was sign that they have sold their wills and bodies to the State: and contracted themselves into a service not the less abject for that its beginning was voluntary.”
—T.E. (Thomas Edward)
