(19 Feb 2016, 3:32 pm)G-CPTN Whilst I applaud the new livery for the X21 Castles Express, I wonder if the blue base colour will lead to confusion with 'another operator' - or, maybe, there aren't any Arriva services along that route?The Arriva MAX X12 runs along most of the X21 route between Newcastle and Durham, but it seems like more people confuse the MAX branding for one of Go North East's buses, when the MAX buses first returned to service from refurbishment people kept trying to get on the X12 with GNE key cards.
Anyway, I do think it looks good.

(18 Feb 2016, 9:54 pm)biglugs@yahoo.com Or the x21 it's had 3878 for a while3878 is a lolyne not an ominidekka
(19 Feb 2016, 2:48 pm)S813 FVK That would have been the intention. Linking the 21 and X21 together in a way that is clearer than present (other than the route number).a few months ago a driver suggested it should have been called Angel Express the livery is similar to the current Angel will not be suprised in the future if the brand is merged still be called Castles Express

Won't take long for Durham bus station to knock those corners off all the angular bits, mind.

Just a thought on the X21.
The launch coincides with the start of major roadworks through Low Fell for the new bus lane. Imagine reliability will be shot to bits on anything going through Low Fell for the next 8 weeks
