Versas could also still move back to Riverside yet

(08 Dec 2020, 12:38 pm)Storx Versas won't be going back to Riverside, Dan said they're staying on the 28 a few days ago and they've got Euro 6 Mods for the service. Can't see the Streetlites going anywhere else there's not really any other services that need 3 buses only.Well I presume the 3 SWB will transfer to Deptford with the rest eventually. As stated, it is only temporary in order to release omnis for the 311

(08 Dec 2020, 1:01 pm)Storx Where does it say it's temporary?I read it as if that the whole allocation was temporary
Wright Streetlite DF/Wright Streetlite 8344 (NL63 XBO), 8345 (NL63 XBP) and 8346 (NL63 XBR) have all transferred from Riverside Depot to Chester-le-Street, for use on service 34. This has displaced andScania CN230UB/Scania Omnicity 5272 (NK56 KKH), 5273 (NK56 KKJ) and 5274 (NK56 KKL) from Chester-le-Street Depot to Percy Main, for temporary allocation to “Cobalt & Coast” service 311, due to low passenger numbers on this service, which will allow the displacement of double-decks to be more appropriately used.
The only thing temporary is the Omnicity's on the 311, the Omnicity's have been displaced which isn't temporary to me.

Good to see the Quaycities have white front destination screens: https://flic.kr/p/2keNEQA
Revised Angel branding: https://flic.kr/p/2keP7yA
And I wonder why this X84/X85 has different shaped black window surround vinyl at the back of the lower saloon compared to the others: https://flic.kr/p/2keJSeY

(08 Dec 2020, 6:44 pm)streetdeckfan There's something that just looks off about the Angel branding. I think it's the fact there's now three different shades of green. I personally think it looks worse now than it did with the vinyl on the window. They should have either left it alone or gone with a full rebrand.Agree think it would look much better if was closer to the original angel, maybe half X21 blue and pink with brown angel
As for the E400s, the angled black vinyl definitely looks worse than the rounded vinyl on the 'older' examples. As I've said before, every batch of E400s seem to be completely different, can they not just decide on a spec!

Had a quick play in Photoshop and despite my poor colour matching, I think changing the colours back to normal makes it look so much smarter.

head still looks way to small and like it's been cut off at the knees
(08 Dec 2020, 8:18 pm)Storx tbf it still doesn't look ideal just looks like they've tried to force a brand with something that wasn't designed to be like that. It kinda looks like someone has put one of the windows out and they didn't redo the livery to me. It would probably look better if they removed the slant so the whole wings are on the side but once you've done that you might aswell start again tbh. Shame really but the lines on the window are annoying on the bus so it doesn't bother me too much.

(08 Dec 2020, 8:29 pm)streetdeckfan Totally agree, I'd have left it another year or two and just given them a full rebrand into the new corporate style. In fact, I might have a bit of a play about see if I can come up with something half decent.Awww I meant blue and pink base livery with brown angel. That's a hell of a pink head
Is that bloody better for you?! Can't be arsed to change any more colours so I just picked the best colour out of the two!

Anyway bringing this back on topic... I really do think they've made it worse by adding another shade of green to the mix
I do hope they haven’t paid anyone to redesign that Angel and it’s been an earnest in house effort, it’s absolutely utterly awful. The clashing third green doesn’t work at all.
I would assume they can’t do brown or there would be image right issues.
Saying that the whole green brand doesn’t really work now it’s not run by hybrids.
