(30 Jun 2020, 12:38 pm)ifm001 Don't think the deckers would be suitable for the remainder of the route though would they?
Not sure to be honest, it goes under a bridge but I'm not sure how low it is, and IIRC the Streetlites are roughly the same length as the B5s.
The fact that they're rebranding one of the Streetlites suggest there's no plans to add it back on to the X66, personally I would prefer them to just bring back the S1 as it pretty much always ran on time since it doesn't get stuck in Gateshead traffic.

Unless they took a different routing...

As far as I can remember, the only bridge the X66 encountered is in entrance to the red car park, and I don't think it's that low

Hasn't the entrance to Ikea got one of those height bars things across and some of the bus only roads?

I don't think so, at least I don't remember seeing one anywhere along the route

With the recent stripping of 5409's branding?, will the rest be debranded?
How long does it normally take for a Mini Bus, Single and double decker to be repainted?

There are a number of factors in this. Things like: the size of the paintbrush, the height of the painter and the number of stepladders available at anyone time can all impact on how quickly they can get it done.

Don't forget to add, it also depends how many workers are free to hold the ladders etc

Does look rather smart, if it wasn't for the older bumper design they'd still look brand new!
