now in fleet livery
I was on one of the newly Corporate liveried streetdecks the other day on the 10 and noticed it still had the interior roof panel vinyls for X5/X15.
Do they simply unpeal or does adhesive residue need scrubbed off too making it a bigger job?

Im always pleased when these turn up on the 10 or 47 rather than the garish green tens or dated looking rangers

Apparently 6336 is in the Corporate Livery at Saltmeddows.
14 Apr 2022, 10:29 pm
So do Riverside (and Hexham TVT operation) now effectively have 6001, 6049, 6050, 6336, 6337 as spare covering the following CAZ (Euro 6) decker PVR?
Total PVR = 37
10/10A/10B: 16x
27: 11x
58: 6x
X10: 4x

6336 was driving around Riverside later on around 1900.

The Go north east above the destination just looks wrong, or is it just me
16 Apr 2022, 10:27 am
Agreed.
Wasn’t it because the Alexander Dennis logo hadn’t been removed by Saltmeadows prior to putting it into Xlines lively, so the GNE logo was put up there.
I thought during this repaint they would’ve removed the AD logo, plus the GNE logo above the destination.
Otherwise looks good.
Wonder why they don’t leave the Wright Gemini2/Streetlite/Streetdeck light surrounds black like they do with the AD MMC 200/400s.

Would they not have been better painting the front panel below the windscreen blue? Would look really good on the E400MMC.

No they trialled that look on a Solo, Omnicity and Omnidecka in 2019 and it cheapened the livery.
It looked like they’d have a panel replaced from a blue vehicle.
How come 6336 got it’s own thread rather than featuring in the 2019 Corporate Repaints thread?

Is the Charcoal XLines Brandning dead?

Sorted this now.

I guess this means that the 3 spare Consett MMCs will be put into Xlines spare, seeing as they're the same spec this time.
16 Apr 2022, 12:51 pm
just noticed the interior as had a update.
I was on it on the 78 a while ago and I have never been so cold on a bus. This was mid december I could see my breath for the 1hour 30 mins journey

That leaves a spare ratio of 1x Euro 6 vehicle for every 8x (not including 6064 which can be used on the X45/X46 and 47/47A).
Only issue I can foresee longer term is if the PVR of the X30's & X70's eventually need an increase by 1x as it does seem a bit tight at the moment.

If there is a surplus of X Lines vehicles I’m surprised they didn’t leave these and repaint the oddballs like 6334/5 into standard livery instead
