In the summer months, Newport Transport also operate the red-liveried open-top bus tour of the city under the City Sightseeing branding using a converted Alexander bodied Scania N113DRB double decker.
Livery
The original pre-war livery of maroon was changed to green and cream in the 1940s and remained the same until August 2009. The current livery is dark green and white with lime green and grey logos at the rear of the vehicles although there are a few exceptions. Newport bus runs seven high-quality large-capacity school coaches branded as "Skool Coach" that are painted in all-over yellow, mimicking those used in North America.
