“Super low emission diesel-electric hybrid”?

Aren’t these euro5, hence being sent packing away from the city?


Yes, but they’re still low emission? Euro 5 is still very clean, especially a diesel-electric Hybrid.

(02 Feb 2022, 4:32 pm)Dan 6067 is now in service at Consett on the X5/X15, with 6304 coming out of service in lieu (now at Saltmeadows for repaint).

6065/66/68 all due into service tomorrow. All fitted with white front destinations in addition to the tables internally.

What livery is 6304 getting?

Durham 2025?

Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

Not quite good enough for the authorities though, so “super” low emission is pushing it.

Look smart.


‘X15’ on the left hand side of the destination screen but ‘X5’ on the right?

No - two just still running on old settings and it thinks the front is a colour route number display.

When doing things like that, perspective warp is your best friend (perhaps your only friend if you spend your time photoshopping buses...).

Make sure you copy a larger area than you want, knock the opacity down to like 50% so you can see both, use the perspective warp tool to get the shape lined up, then use the eraser with the hardness turned down to blend it in.
Works pretty much every time!

And some like myself don't edit their photos at all (Disclaimer - years ago and I mean years ago in the mid noughties, I brightened one or two photos), the photo you see is the photo that I took at the time. I don't have time or the paitence to edit.

Each to their own I suppose. I shoot raw format, so anything I take goes through Adobe Lightroom to correct.

I definitely prefer the editing side to actually taking photos, although I did buy myself a new camera and a few lenses for 'Christmas' to try and get back into it. Not to take pictures of buses though, I do have a life and a reputation to uphold Wink

Having said that, I absolutely hate the more 'normal' editing of photos, I'd much rather spend my time in Photoshop 'uglifiying' people or editing new liveries onto buses!
