(05 Mar 2020, 4:59 pm)Malarkey It was the first one done a few weeks ago.
It looks much better in person than the concept images. The fact that each colour is a composite picture didn't come across all that well on a small screen but it has a much bigger visual impact when it's only 30' away from you, irl.

Saw one of the E400s with the new livery, and to be honest it doesn't look that bad in person (probably due to the fact that they didn't paint the bumper correctly)
But what on earth did they do to the back? It just looks like an arse crack to me! Looks bloody awful

Any orange bumper, in fact orange on the front in general, is now obsolete after updated paint specifications were released today.

RBZ 5459. Do you know which two buses Sunderland could send to Shields depot if the x20 & 30 are coming back soon. Robin

Shame that. Quite liked the way Newcastle had interpreted the specs. So no orange anywhere on the front now?

Would expect just one MAN E200, as the 17/18 timetable changes also save one bus at Shields.

No orange should be used nope.

Wonder if 36091-94 are going instead of some of the 63 plates? Doesn't appear that anything has transferred to Sunderland as a result.

Does anyone know if 39724 is likely to being repaired? I noticed it dumped at the back of Slatyford today missing several panels and windows. I know its been off the road for a while, but has also now been SORN, so assuming its not likely to see service again

A photo was put on Flickr a few weeks ago of 39707 at South Shields in a worse condition - raised up missing an entire axle and front destination screen. Apparently 39715 at Sunderland is also knackered. I assume it is unlikely that these will return to service?

Apparently the orders for 2020 / 2021 are due in the next month or so, so it will be interesting if there is anything on order for the North East? Well there has got to be if all remaining ALX300s need to be withdrawn by the end of the year as well as a significant portion of the MAN E200s.

Yeah I seen that photo but given that its still taxed im assuming it must be in the process of being repaired? Slatyford's fleet of MAN E200s have always seemed to be in a worse condition than the rest of the North East's in my opinion. I think it must be almost guaranteed that the NE will be getting new vehicles this year to improve Newcastle's fleet whether its directly, or with older vehicles at other depots being replaced and gaining Euro 6 mods for Newcastle instead.

Sunderland could always exchange the 2011 ADL E300s for the 2006/2007 ALX300s as a short term solution...

Saw 19683 being returned to Walkergate in the new livery today and, yes, there is no orange anywhere on the front. Below the windscreen there are two white panels and then the blue bumper. It also has the 'panda eyes' front headlights.

Probables have new buses for Newcastle again, meaning the Enviro's can move back to Sunderland, after new buses arrive... and upgraded to Euro 6, means they can be used as back up for the X24, if there aren't enough gas buses for the X24.

If im honest i cant see the E200s moving back to Sunderland, the likes of the 32/35etc don't warrant new buses so will probably end up receiving Euro 6 mods, with new vehicles replacing the ALX300s
