Wouldn't make sense just to have the X30 green then X31/70/71 black then X45/46/47 red. Least this way you'll have a similar corridor with same xlines version complimenting the colours of the new 97.

It would, but like you brought up earlier, what about the Red Arrows when it becomes Xlines?

Also, the fact that red kites aren't actually red does bother me somewhat

It doesn't look like it's been out since Saturday

6305 was collected from repaint at 13:00 this afternoon.

I mean, that small, inconsequential fact could make a slight difference to our speculation...

In other news, apparently 6303 had issues starting at Eldon Square, causing it to run late and get swapped for 3941 at Chester Le Street

So X47/70/71 black with X31/45/46 green?

That would make sense, but then the numbering wouldn't be consistent with the branding

I'd hope the whole lot were the same colour, though that might be looking bleak.

(20 Sep 2019, 8:18 pm)streetdeckfan I've just noticed that the white stripe on the X30 is cut off by the wheel arch, is that the final design because now that I've noticed it, it looks awful

Doesn't look that bad. On another note 6115 has returned, presumably with 6100 going other way

It looks like they've just copied and pasted the design from another bus, without taking into account the different height so the white line gets pushed down, it also makes the length of the green at the top disproportionately long IMO, so what I would have done is push the lines further back which I think balances it out a bit more

Another thing, can we please have some clarification on the official branding for X-lines

Is it 'X-lines' or 'X lines' because the website has it hyphenated, but all the timetables have it without the hyphen, plus the logo makes it look like it's all one word!

How many of those who will be travelling on the X30/X31 will really be worried about the white stripe running into the wheel arch, or the fact it’s X-lines or X lines?

Leaving 4944 as the last 2001 Euro 4 Scania on the 97...
