6301-6303 were already in corporate livery - I can't see that changing. I imagine 6304-6307 might just get a partial X-Lines spare repaint - certainly saves on the cost of repainting the whole vehicles.

hmmm they could do that but then they still have to go through debranding the interior etc. so they might aswell paint them, there is only 4 of them

For the role they are going to take - spares for X-Lines services - it would be more cost-effective to simply repaint the rear end black than the whole bus.

If they are going to be spares for the X1, X21 and to operate the peak time X21s then it would make sense to turn them into grey generic spares

If they are going to be spares for the 21, 25, well then they’d be no good in X Lines livery

I imagine 6304-7 will be split between Washington and Chester-le-Street in X-Lines grey and then 6301-3 will be at Chester-le-Street for the 21.

50 needs 1. But I also think Deptford need a few more spares, they need 11 for the 56, 2 for schools. And that is the only Euro 6's at Deptford.

Because it would make more sense to have grey X-Lines ones at Washington for the X1, and corporate livery ones at Chester for the 21.

I'm sure that's probably a 10 minute job since it's basically just peeling off the vinyls, of if they're lazy, just sticking new over the top.

Anyone can update bustimes.org, it’s not official

Sometimes enthusiasts can get carried away and delete stuff at the very sniff of something happening

Although in this case it’s probably right

I know repainting wise it wouldn't make much sense but GNE have known to do stuff like this before.

Wonder if 6331 - 6333 might actually be the ones that will end up for the 21 to keep the batch together. You could then repaint either 6376/6377 into the X45/X46 and/or X1 X Lines.

It means you'd have the X1, X45 and X46 all running around with the new Streetdecks, then the X30, X31, X70, X71 and X72 all running with the new Enviro's keeping the oldest Streetdecks 6301 - 6307 as spares across the 3 depots.
