Okay, so I've been playing around in Photoshop again, and mocked up a few images of what the Streetdecks *could* look like with the new livery (minus any actual branding, I struggle to think of what the branding could be without covering the windows)


I know I'm a tad biased, but I actually really like the way they came out, especially the Angel

Also completely ignore the Solo, for some reason trying to delete the attachment does bugger all

(24 Apr 2019, 12:03 pm)JP6004 Does look stunning. Colours go together perfectly.

New Wear Xpress? Or Indigo?⅔

Confirmation via Go North East's MD's Twitter that these Solos are destined for the X6/X7 and X20 services:

(25 Apr 2019, 12:08 am)JP6004 Is that another omnicity repainted in the reflection?

No, just one of the ex-Stanley examples, down at Saltmeadows at the moment as the N/S panels have been scraped.

(23 Apr 2019, 6:13 pm)Malarkey Needs a little bit of yellow on the front I think.

No it already looks too much with the blue added. 

(23 Apr 2019, 7:57 pm)Andreos1 The blue on the front looks like its picked up a spare panel from another vehicle! 
Horrendous.

Agreed!

(24 Apr 2019, 12:12 am)streetdeckfan I just did a quick Photoshop of how I would change it and I think it looks way better (but that's just my opinion)



Also, I noticed there is a dot missing from the website and now I can't unsee it!

I also photoshopped 6103 to have 'corporate' livery and it looks quite smart imo

Much better! It looks simpler and less busy without the yellow.

RE these


I don't mind the blue on the front (or the yellow on the side to cover that one), but I do think it would have been better if they had applied the blue in the same way that Stagecoach did to their Carlisle Solos

I think as a result of all these service changes we will see the ex Thames Travel Optare Solos 697 to 705 go to Percy Main with 691 to 694 to Deptford replacing 697 to 700, then 679/680 from Percy Main, 681/689 & 690 from Deptford to Washington replacing 701 to 705.

I think it's less about the way they applied it and more the fact it's such a harsh contrast in such a small area

Wouldn't it make sense to send the ex-thames solos to Riverside to link up with 710-714 then send 626,628,633/4 and 722 from Riverside and 637/8/9 from Deptford to Percy Main. Means Percy Main keep full Solo SR allocation as they gained a extra couple of buses from loss of 333 and K3, Riverside keep all the older Solos and 697-700 can be replaced by 691-694.

Also means full Solo SR ops at Deptford

I rode them more in Oxfordshire than I've managed to do up here bizarrely. Only had a couple since they came up. 
At the time, they weren't too bad for Solo's. Didn't seem as skittish as some

(25 Apr 2019, 1:50 am)streetdeckfan Okay, so I've been playing around in Photoshop again, and mocked up a few images of what the Streetdecks *could* look like with the new livery (minus any actual branding, I struggle to think of what the branding could be without covering the windows)


I know I'm a tad biased, but I actually really like the way they came out, especially the Angel

Also completely ignore the Solo, for some reason trying to delete the attachment does bugger all

These are absolutely fantastic; your Photoshop skills are perfect.
