However considering GNE have referred to it as the ‘S&D Blue 61’ on their website, timetables, social media, Google maps etc. it feels somewhat counterintuitive to change the colour. But if it’s easier loose blue or go violet, perhaps go violet - saves painting those Citaros yet again! The 61 remains a PVR of 4 I believe, despite the extension to Peterlee as they’re dropping to every 30 minutes instead of 20 minutes.

Google has stopped referring to it as the Blue 61, which makes me think they're quietly dropping the brand


Mind, it's never referred to the X-lines X9/X10 either. Wasn't really a massive fan of the Blue livery on paper anyway (although my view may have changed seeing it in the flesh).
