It’s a modern twist on the old name, not being completely stuck in the past.

I hope this confirms that all of the fleet livery routee at Deptford will get this livery....

It looks like the ex X-Lines Solo's are now allocated to the 33/38/38A/938, as they've been on the last few days, with the older solo's on the X6.

Two boards on service 39 are now allocated double-decks on weekdays (until the end of July) to allow the withdrawal of (at least some of) the 39S duplicates.

Noticed less and less more demand for dupe buses now, looks like they'll defo end at end of the school term, which is now the 16th July but not for me, I work all year around
RE: Go North East - Recent Repaints - Acky81 - 06 Jul 2021
Has any Sunderland district berries been painted yet? Or any of the black cats been painted over yet?

No, but four Berries should be in service by the end of the week.

I think it looks rather smart.
Except from what they've done to the front.
They'd have been better off sticking with either 'Berries' Or 'Sunderland District' without the berries. It just doesn't look right

The actual livery looks very smart - still think I'd have preferred the "Sunderland District 2/2A" mind.

Well I’m glad that’ll be hiding over Sunderland way.

Either of these two would have been preferred for me.
To me, having the graphics to the side of 'Sunderland District' is just too much, plus it pushes the text over to the side so it's not in the centre, which looks awkward IMO

The latest former X-Lines repainted Optare Solo 676 was found in a fortunate break in the clouds today. Whether Sunderland District or not, the Charcoal and Red befits these little buses.
