RE: Go North East - Recent Repaints - Drifter60 - 28 Nov 2020
(28 Nov 2020, 10:12 pm)Michael Might finally be getting its new Livery but also could be going in to Fleet Livery, as the current PVR has dropped by 3 (unless they plan to bring it back to every 12 minutes in the new year).
Sure it was said the new livery would be called
Newcastle & Sunderland CityLink or something.
Edit: must of went down late today, as it was on the 60, it did the 5:30 to Sunderland
Can’t be 6087 on the 60s, low bridge at Dawdon. Ticket machine must be being used in another vehicle for Deptford.
Also sunset times would suggest it’s not even possible, by 18:10 it would be dark and the photo is clearly in the light. Wonder what bus the ticket machine is being used in?
Bus times suggests the ticket machine from 6087 was being regularly used on 56s until Wednesday 11am, so safe to assume 6087 itself was indeed here until then it’s went down Blackburn at some point between Wednesday and Friday.

Deptford do have some extra B9s on loan too. 6048 and 6084 at least.

I hate to say it, but it actually looks quite good!
Still think the vertical text looks stupid though!

Have they had a full refurbishment rather than the retrim which the Red Arrows had? The panel behind the door looks grey rather than the usual blue, not sure if it's just the camera angle as the colours are a bit weird there in places.
Still not keen on this version of livery though just doesn't do it for me personally and I'm not a fan of the swoop. Think it would look better if it just went straight along the black or with a slight curve (talking inches here). Personal taste that though, like the front though.

Seems the Angels may be getting a little tidy up, or is it just this one?

Will the 3 remaining versas have light refurb too? If so, could they possibly go on X66? With 5389 & 5390 as spare for Q3 and X66? This would allow euro 5 streetlites to go to chester to replace a few omnis

Unless plans are changed I believe that some of 6149 - 6161 are planned to go to CLS for the 13/25 which should see off the Omnicities. It was definitely the plan at one point with the other 6 on the 93/94 which appears to already have happened as they've been allocated daily for awhile now.
