For now, at least, everything will be done in the style it was previously.
I wouldn't read too much into X-lines and Best Impressions being the standard for everything. The whole X-lines concept is to try and set apart a more premium customer experience and better quality product from 'standard' local service work, a la Sapphire, MAX, Stagecoach Gold etc.
Clearly this is difficult to do by way of the specification of the bus, as Go North East's standard specification is already quite high, but the livery design has been purposely designed to look a bit more premium (more colour etc, use of gold) and a different style of timetable including detailed route map etc.
