Fastrack buses at Northfleet use a special livery of light blue at the front and grey at the rear, broken with a navy blue band and thin white lines in the middle of the bus. The Arriva "circles" logo is orange, not blue, as the corporate one. The London livery is completely red, with the thin yellow line at skirt level and the Arriva "circles" in plain white.
