Latest E400 for Newcastle repainted is 19445, discovered on the 22, not tracking as with nearly all recent repaints. Captured this evening in Stella North, or Newburn Riverside as the council wants people to call it.

It's Newburn Haugh.
Stella North was the name of the power station. Two power stations were built on either side of the Tyne, they were operated as a pair so both were called Stella, with Stella South (built on Stella Haugh) being the largest of the two.

Ah, I was not aware of the two 'Haughs', makes perfect sense. I shall amend as I go.
Latest ADL E20D Enviro 200 repainted for South Shields is 37305, returned to service this afternoon, caught on the X20 from Fellgate shortly after 7pm passing the site of the old Westoe bridges

26293 getting repaint in to new colours now.
10638 to getting new colours.
Frankly Glen I don't believe a word you are saying until I see a photo evidence of said vehicles. Anyway just because they haven't been seen in service for a few days doesn't mean they are getting repainted. It might be simply they are waiting for parts to get repaired. Anyway it's not the first time you have stuff is painted and it wasn't.

Confirmation from the Wheatsheaf that 10638 is partially prepped and 26293 is being started today.
But to be fair, this thread is for repaints after the fact, or at least in the stages of prep.
26293 is getting new colours according bustimes

Wonder if it'll keep its 36/37/38 sub-branding.
Others at the paint shop now appear to be Sunderland-based 36969 (https://www.flickr.com/photos/189134926@...otostream/) and Slatyford's 10638 (https://www.flickr.com/photos/189134926@...otostream/)
10643 (SN16 OYJ) is also at Wheatsheaf, would assume to be repainted next week.

Quite surprised they've started painting the E200/E400MMC's when there is still a large number of E200/E300/NG & E400's still to be painted.
Looking at the fleet list on Bus Times the following are still in Beachball or other Non Standard Liveries:
39 - E400MMC's
15 - E400H's
29 - E400's
24 - ALX300's - Unsure as to how many of these will be repainted given there age.
16 - MAN/Transbus E300's
21 - E300 Gas
5 - Pointer Darts
38 - E200MMC's
29 - E200's
46 - MAN E200's - Highly doubt these will get repainted as I would expect these to be replaced in the near future due to poor reliability.

One of the E300 gas buses is getting the pride livery, not sure which one as Harry Barker (his post) didn’t state the fleetnumber on Stagecoach North East & North West Enthusiasts Group on Facebook.

yes im rather surprised about that aswell, then again though SNE dont really tend to make much sense when it comes to vehicle painting, like no jubilee vehicles, and some of the MMCs even those delivered in 2016 are still looking decent in beachball, if they looked tatty i would understand a repaint but they aren't, whereas some of the 2008 deckers are looking very forlorn with some panels virtually rusted through

They not just done when the buses are in for exams etc. Makes sense doing it then rather than pulling vehicles off the road and leaving services short, basically what's happened at Arriva Redcar lately.

It's 28007

I have to say it's a million times better than GNE's.
Also, I've wondered why the blue at the front doesn't extend up the skirting (is that the right term), but the bit at the back does.
12082 has been repainted,sadly i was just too slow to get a photo of it

Was reliveried some time ago. Last EH shopped was 12085.
Bustimes seems to think 10638 has also gone into a pride livery - can see no evidence on Flickr, anyone able to confirm/deny?
10638 is showing normal dishwasher tablet livery for me and photos have showed it as such, however 26293 is now showing pride.
However the peril of bus times is that any idiot can change the information. Especially those who like to post false reports.
Which is why I wait until I see actual photos. The Stagecoach Pride livery is vinyls so possibly they might be applied at the depot the vehicle is based at, but we have to wait and see. I'm sure they wouldn't have done a GNE and repainted 28007 again into Dishwasher Tablet livery for a second time in a space of a year.
Can confirm 10638 is going into pride livery. It is partially branded and is out on the 62 today.
