Isn't East Rider EY's Xlines equivalent?

Gateshead East Rider. Sounds nice. Wonder what colours
Looks like it's for the 58. Just a random guess. But it's an Ex ToonLink bus

Sounds too long for people to refer to it as that, and for it to be said over & over again on the NSAs.

Could it be Gateshead Easyrider for replacing the 93/94 Loop?

October-December 2020 5380-5384 were re-allocated from the 58 to the Quaycity Q3 alongside 5385-5388. The three remaining citylink vehicles 5377-79 have all since been painted into fleet livery. I'm quite surprised that 5382-5391 weren't used for the Q3, that way 5377-5381 could have been kept together as a group of 5 and used on the 57 to replace the Citaro's for the CAZ.

The brand on 6149 (LJ62KBY) is East Gateshead Rider with a stylised horses head, and between the decks on the nearside it says Gallop accross Gateshead for £4.50 (or something like that). The colours are a red base with maroon as the relief colour. Couldn't see route details due to its parking position and head on shots are only possible from the exit gate.

I thought they'd got away from that kind of branding!
As long as they don't put eyes on the front, I can't see it being that bad though!
RE: Go North East - Recent Repaints - Rapidsnap - 26 May 2021
Nah front design is the usual colour relief similar to that found on the Crusader.
RE: Go North East - Recent Repaints - Chris 1 - 26 May 2021
What happened to the colours for each area? Green for Gateshead etc? Or did I misunderstand that?

Think it's just GNE being inconsistent again! I think now they're just making it up as they go along!
RE: Go North East - Recent Repaints - Rapidsnap - 26 May 2021
Nothing is set in stone. Maybe they thought it was an unrealistic idea and quietly ditched the coloured districts.
RE: Go North East - Recent Repaints - Micheal Aaron - 26 May 2021
So. Do we know how many of these Volvo B9TL Wright Eclipse Gemini 2 buses are being painted for the Gateshead Rider or whatever its called.
I'm guessing it's going to be the ToonLink buses 6149,6153. Given the Gateshead Rider 5 buses in that livery.
But noticed pn bus org now. 6155 and 6156 have received the "other" section now. These not been seen since
6155 (7thMay)
6156 (19thMay)
So does this mean its 6149 to 6156 with 6154 being the 2019 corp version. Or is 6155 and 6156 being put into something different.
Maybe the 57 as I've noticed there are only 3 Citaros on. 1 being at Deptford (5294) and 5295 not been seen since the 21st April.
Or possibly for the 93/94 if there getting branding

RE: Go North East - Recent Repaints - Rapidsnap - 27 May 2021
Looks like the Loop also had a refresh, caught these 2 heading back to Riverside this afternoon.
RE: Go North East - Recent Repaints - Micheal Aaron - 27 May 2021

I actually like both of them. The Loop one is nice. Like the green stripe down the back alongside the black
