Guessing that will be 4901 to 4925 which get DDA Modifications, as 4896 to 4900 are all Euro 2 Rated so they will be Withdrawn as I doubt GNE would pay for DDA & Emninox Mods for those Vehicles as it would cost a fortune.
It was said that they will aim to get 4896-4925 converted and some of the ex-Oxford renowns too.

The reason why Dan has put it in bold as "Connections4 Blue" is because we know what "Connections4" blue is? Exactly the same when the X66 StreetLites were delivered in "Connections4" blue.

(12 Aug 2015, 1:34 pm)Greg in Weardale It can't be that long since the Diamond got Citaros. If, as I hope, the Diamond brand is going to be kept for the Durham to Stanley bit at least, if the survey suggestions are implemented (already decided before survey??), then what's going to run the rump of the 43/44 Stanley to Newcastle and the increased X43? If Citaros there'll be one or two Diamond vehicles spare to be allocated elsewhere. If something else then there'll be quite a few Citaros free.
Could you please advise me how you've come to the conclusion that the decision to change the services had already been decided prior to the customer consultation being carried out? The website clearly stated that all responses received by Friday 7th August 2015 would be considered...
I have no experience of using Survey Monkey (which, if I remember rightly, was the platform Go North East used for this web-based customer consultation, in addition to printed leaflets), but I'd imagine that it'd be pretty easy for the system to generate charts to show a visual representation of the results, in turn allowing the company to clearly see the percentage of those in favour and those against the proposed route changes.
The company would have developed plans regarding repaints and re-allocations prior to the consultation as a solid business case would have to be formed should the plans incur any sort of cost. There's no point in hanging around after the consultation has closed, which is why the repaints have already commenced.

Going to be honest - the reason why I said "Connections4 Blue" was primarily because I guessed some of you would speculate that it would join the "Connections4" branded vehicles at Washington...
A secondary reason was for what you mentioned; and as you rightly state, we referred to the base livery of the Streetlites now deployed on service X66 as "Connections4 blue".

Ere don't you start teasing
Its about time rest of the "Crusader" Citaro's got repainted.......

A new brand design and repaint should be on the way (or at least the latter) as 5328/9/30 have all been repainted. Nowt much to tease about really (as if there is a new look brand, they certainly can't get their hands on the design just yet).

Let's hope so... the other 3 has being repainted for ages... although we did have the influx of new buses and other things....

Please don't let crusader new look or design be silver.

If it's already been mentioned, just ignore it...
You know how it goes - one person moans about a duplicate post, then everyone else jumps on the bandwagon, and you all end up at each other's throats (with the thread going off-topic in the process).
Just chill.
RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2015 - Panasonic44 - 12 Aug 2015
Well I live on that line too but silver is not good colour for the crusader and the citraos should be moved to else where.
That will be all. Hoping for good luck to 2017 QCS.

I'd rather see silver crusader buses opposed to buses going around in the nexus livery. I don't really want QCS to happen - i think everything is fine as it is and we are trying to be too much like London.
RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2015 - Panasonic44 - 12 Aug 2015
GNE might as well join Ten service to 27 and call it Newcastle Link Up, connecting South Shields with Hexham.
Since it came off the Ten, GNE didn't even brother to change colour. I was more use too & should have been lived on from old Crusader (Volvo B10s), it stood out for better.
RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2015 - Panasonic44 - 12 Aug 2015
Not to sure but I think it was they where breaking down too often. Even now some Mercs to have ramp issues.
