The X-lines Solos are being repainted as one of the Deptford drivers I’m friends with on Facebook took 673 to Saltmeadows for repaint on Monday morning (17th May).

Are they being repainted into corporate or a new livery for another route?

(17 May 2021, 6:41 pm)streetdeckfan Just saw what looked like one of GNE's solos fresh from repaint driving up the A1 past the Angel on test, it had a red rear and what looked like either a dark grey or black front.
Initially I thought it was a GCT Nexus branded, but it looked like it was ready for a road stripe?
Ive saw the one you saw, it is red at the back and a very dark charcoal grey near black at the front, no branding yet

Which fleet number was it?

I'm surprised no one has a pic of it yet

Hopefully the black cats streetlites will get this repaint too, this will really stand out on them much better than the basic red they have now

Ye agree, the livery would look much on that base livery.


RE: Go North East - Recent Repaints - Micheal Aaron - 23 May 2021

Wow that livery looks nice. See the thing is it for Sunderland or something else. Remember when the X Lines solos were done. They were took of the NT and sent over to Sunderland. For all we know they could be a Riverside route or something else but who knows

If its going to Deptford - I think it'll be named something like "Sunderland Links"

Unless they've abandoned the colour association to areas then it's going to Sunderland or South Tyneside as that's red.

It looks nice but it's a bit similar to the Nexus Bus livery which GCT is using for a customer who uses colours to recognise a bus imo. It's not exactly a brand I'd want my customers to be getting mixed up with especially since GCT run services all over now.


RE: Go North East - Recent Repaints - Micheal Aaron - 23 May 2021

Yea tbh the Crusader is red plus so maybe they have decided to Sunderland and South Tyneside the same

Service 56 and 26/7 have the red rear

It was announced ages ago that the red rear will be south Tyneside and Sunderland areas so will be services that are operated by Washington and Deptford depot, I’ve forgotten what riverside depot was (green?), I only remembered the red, maybe Dan could clear the rest of the colours for each area.

So the yellow Solos branded for Tynedale Links would gain an orange back if repainted? What about CLS? 21, 25, 28 etc.

Not a clue tbh with you. The Coast and Country, Prince Bishops and Tyne Valley Ten are the same. The 21 should be fine though as its main corridor is Birtley and Low Fell which is Gateshead and the 25 and 28 will be staying corporate I imagine. The Connections 4 buses are pink at front and blue at the back instead so who knows.
