(23 Oct 2019, 11:15 pm)TEN 6083 Think it’s for the X31/X70/X71 the grey variant of X-lines as it said those will be going into X-lines on the article GNE published back in June unless the Red Kite are getting a slightly different version if/when the new Streetdecks arrive.

Yes I remember the launch, just it strange for it to be described by Dan as a generic xlines livery as opposed to a variant.

The current X31 works off an incoming X45 and back onto X46, X70/71 work onto/off X46. But also a picture posted from the inside of wrightbus shows a number of green backed streetdecks, the timetable for the X30/31 is also green. Looks the the other ex eyms E400 will go green to make up the numbers.
I think the red variant will be for the X1 when it’s announced that route will be upgraded to Xlines.
One of the EY E400 is in black xlines so unsure what's happening now.....I would of thought that all E400 were going green and streetdecks mixture of black green and blue but doesn't seem to be the case now

It also appears GNE have given away the base colours for the new style liveries on the updated NSA. The NSA on 97 depicts the 2 base colour base used externally. If that is anything to by
56 - dark/lighter shade of orange. Yellow stripe
4 - dark/lighter shade of blue. Gold stripe
X1 - red and orange Xlines. Yellow road stripe

I passed a Gemini on the 21 the other evening and on the approach, could have sworn it was 3943 in its X1 livery.
Turns out it was a 69xx and it was the corporate livery.
It got me thinking and wondering if it was time to keep the red, yellow and blue away from anything other than the corporate livery if they're wanting to make route liveries stand out away from anything standard and corporate.

I agree in getting rid of the likes of the 49 and the 9 brand as they are in corporate livery anyway. But dont agree in banning red blue and yellow across all liveries

I've always liked 'The 49' branding to be honest, it's very simple and there's no mistaking that it's a 49! I was just honestly surprised they got the NSA right with it and it didn't end up saying "This is 'The 49' 49 service to Gateshead"!
Normally I would say I don't think they'd get rid of a route brand so soon, but they killed The Castles Express after only 3 and a half years!

There would be no mistaking the 49 anyway as the destination displays say its the 49 
but I dont see the point in slapping a big number on and calling it branding.........well stagecoach and Arriva seem to think so anyway
Yes they did but replaced it with something far better!
