(05 Oct 2021, 1:43 pm)ne14ne1 Probably some stupid reason like that, like they said the orange and white road stripes on the updated 10 livery is correspond to the XLines 84/85.Tbh if they send on the end connect with the XLines X84/85 wouldn't be so bad with the X46/45, but lets face it the X46/X45 aren't expresses.
The reasoning is not at all obvious, especially to the public so why not just pick colours that go together well.

But we already have the East Gateshead Rider colours. The front of the Red Kite Ranger looks similar to the Gateshead Rider so a similar red at the back would look the same as the Gateshead Rider and then god knows how many people would go. "Looks the same as a Gateshead Rider "

There is a rather small range of paint colours to choose from so it is basically a case of finding a pair that work/don't look like s**t.

(05 Oct 2021, 1:48 pm)Dan If Go North East retain the Hexham contracts next year, I'd not be surprised if we saw an orange and blue Tynedale Links, which will tie the 10, X84/X85 and local services together... What's stupid about that?Is this for the tynedale links only? Also what other contracts are up next year.

(05 Oct 2021, 8:15 pm)streetdeckfan Tbh, they probably don't even hear it anymore.I am probably the same, I hear it a few times, and just drown it out now that I think about it, but on some buses it is especially loud, some buses you have to try to hear it as the engine is too loud, or the bus is shaking.
After years of using the X21 regularly, which has what, 70 odd stops, I often forget she's even there!

(05 Oct 2021, 9:28 pm)streetdeckfan I've never really had that problem with a GNE bus, it's normally the opposite where it's too loud. I've lost count of the amount of time I've got on the bus while on the phone and accidentally sat under a speaker and had to hang up the call because I couldn't hear over the top of it!Oh I did that once on 78 from Consett-Sunderland (2 Hours) never again.

So the 10 repaints got a contrasting swoop under the windscreen but the 47s didn’t:
