Nice to see that they've kept the Venture brand. Looks a hell of a lot smarter than the previous livery. I wonder if anything will go on the cove panels?

100% looks much better, looks more professional

That looks great. Hopefully other mini brands will be revamped.

On step at a time. This ‘upgrade’ is linked to major investment in this part of our our operation, with an impending relaunch of the town and inter-urban bus network there. These sorts of things don’t happen every year, sometimes not even every centuary!


I wonder if the Venture network is changing? or does he just mean a relaunch with the new buses?

If you look at Dan's Tweet, there's two blank spaces under 'Newcastle' and 'Metrocentre' on the leaflet design, could suggest there's more in the works otherwise they wouldn't be blank

I wonder if the yellow and maroon on the venture solos be the same as the colour on the xline rear end x5/x15

I'd imagine they might use the same shade of yellow to save on having loads of different paint types.

I definitely still think the X-Lines livery looks a lot smarter without the glass staircase!

Not sure if it's been mentioned before but 641 is now back at Consett after repaint.

Very surprised they've bothered to paint that as I can't imagine it having too long left since it's one of the oldest Mercs in the fleet.

Doubt they'll be letting go of that one soon after all of the money they've just spent on it.
