55xx will look even stranger!

(23 Mar 2015, 12:10 pm)Dan wrote Transbus MPD/Transbus Mini Pointer 561 (NK53 TLF) was returned to Deptford this morning, after having additionally been re-trimmed. Hexham's former "Tynedale Links" branded 557 (NK53 TKV) arrived at Saltmeadows this morning in its place for the same treatment.

Stanley's former "Red Kite" branded Scania CN230UB/Scania Omnicity 5234 (NK56 KHB) is, as we speak, in the process of being prepared for its repaint, ahead of new vehicles arriving for the "Red Kite" services in the coming weeks and its consequent cascade to another service.

There have been no new arrivals today.

Also GNE have gave us a sneak peak of the new X66 brand... http://www.simplygo.com/all-services/x66 - from what you can see, it looks good.

(25 Mar 2015, 1:06 pm)Michael wrote Looks like it but it looks much better on the blue base than the gold one...

So... Which service(s) do we think that the OmniCitys will cascade down to when they are relieved of their duties on "Red Kite" services 45/46? In the words of citaro5284: let the guessing commence!
