6154 was repainted a while ago (after an accident in Sunderland?) and I believe it was said that due to these arriving not that along ago 3/4 years ago the interiors are still fresh. So I don’t think it’s refurb but a modification of some sort.

Maybe they could paint black window surrounds while it’s there.

Just a caught up on this.

Is the customer…a horse?
File away in the same place as the standing up mega-rears on the X10.

6154 is now in East Gateshead Rider Livery.

Last one to be done for the 58.

Looks like:

6149 - 6154 for the 58


6155 - 6160 for 93/94 with 59/60 left to be repainted, according to bustimes.org.

I wonder who designed that!

Actually, it doesn't seem to have the awful patch of colour on the front so maybe it's not worst impressions...

Yeah to be fair there was no cringe-worthy gushing about creating desire so maybe not.

it is Best Impressions

The last Gateshead Rider, the one that was only repainted in 2019 livery a year ago, 6154 on her return to service in Gateshead this morning

Two stops down in sun to make that look presentable. Mind they are crap buses and a decade old, punters will not be at all impressed and the stupid name won't help

N56 was a very smart livery on 6085.

People seem a bit unimpressed with the refresh, no surprise when the insides are poor seconds to the Cobalts
