Sure it was said the new livery would be called
Newcastle & Sunderland CityLink or something.
Edit: must of went down late today, as it was on the 60, it did the 5:30 to Sunderland
Can’t be 6087 on the 60s, low bridge at Dawdon. Ticket machine must be being used in another vehicle for Deptford.
Also sunset times would suggest it’s not even possible, by 18:10 it would be dark and the photo is clearly in the light. Wonder what bus the ticket machine is being used in?
Bus times suggests the ticket machine from 6087 was being regularly used on 56s until Wednesday 11am, so safe to assume 6087 itself was indeed here until then it’s went down Blackburn at some point between Wednesday and Friday.
Deptford do have some extra B9s on loan too. 6048 and 6084 at least.

That and the fact 6087 is away to Blackburn

Yeah that’s literally the point of the conversation...
6049 is also down at Blackburn

Have they had a full refurbishment rather than the retrim which the Red Arrows had? The panel behind the door looks grey rather than the usual blue, not sure if it's just the camera angle as the colours are a bit weird there in places.
Still not keen on this version of livery though just doesn't do it for me personally and I'm not a fan of the swoop. Think it would look better if it just went straight along the black or with a slight curve (talking inches here). Personal taste that though, like the front though.

Looks like less vinyl on the windows too
Will the 3 remaining versas have light refurb too? If so, could they possibly go on X66? With 5389 & 5390 as spare for Q3 and X66? This would allow euro 5 streetlites to go to chester to replace a few omnis

Unless plans are changed I believe that some of 6149 - 6161 are planned to go to CLS for the 13/25 which should see off the Omnicities. It was definitely the plan at one point with the other 6 on the 93/94 which appears to already have happened as they've been allocated daily for awhile now.

Yeah, you can see the outline of the old angel, they've made it smaller and taken it off the windows.

I'd imagine still not enough to withdraw all 8, 11 if you count the temporary allocation of omnis to the 311.

Depends if the SWB Streetlite are permanent allocation and if the services warrant DD at the moment.
Versas could also still move back to Riverside yet
