I mean, I like the X-lines branding, but it still feels a bit too corporate for my liking. I liked the individuality of the different routes.
It's also probably got something to do with hearing "This is the Castles Express X21 Service to Bishop Auckland" literally 100 times a day for the past few years so anything else sounds strange!
To be fair I felt the same when the solos were branded, it seemed like brands were being diluted.
However now that it has been rolled out over a few services, I think they really do look the part. The livery reflects the high spec interiors and really do make them stand out from the crowd. I was disappointed when the Castles Express started to go too, however I much prefer their new incarnation
