Wouldn't make sense just to have the X30 green then X31/70/71 black then X45/46/47 red. Least this way you'll have a similar corridor with same xlines version complimenting the colours of the new 97.
It would, but like you brought up earlier, what about the Red Arrows when it becomes Xlines?
Also, the fact that red kites aren't actually red does bother me somewhat

It doesn't look like it's been out since Saturday
6305 was collected from repaint at 13:00 this afternoon.

I mean, that small, inconsequential fact could make a slight difference to our speculation...
In other news, apparently 6303 had issues starting at Eldon Square, causing it to run late and get swapped for 3941 at Chester Le Street

Doesn't look that bad. On another note 6115 has returned, presumably with 6100 going other way
It looks like they've just copied and pasted the design from another bus, without taking into account the different height so the white line gets pushed down, it also makes the length of the green at the top disproportionately long IMO, so what I would have done is push the lines further back which I think balances it out a bit more
Another thing, can we please have some clarification on the official branding for X-lines
Is it 'X-lines' or 'X lines' because the website has it hyphenated, but all the timetables have it without the hyphen, plus the logo makes it look like it's all one word!

How many of those who will be travelling on the X30/X31 will really be worried about the white stripe running into the wheel arch, or the fact it’s X-lines or X lines?

I think 4941 is still in service too? Not seen anything on that being withdrawn yet..
Was withdrawn start of September

Sure saw it yesterday and didn't sound healthy

I'm not saying they would be, all I'm saying is the design would look infinitely better if they moved the stripes back just a bit
And as for it being X-lines or X lines, that was more for me because they're not very consistent with how they brand it
(21 Sep 2019, 12:50 pm)streetdeckfan wrote I wonder how much GNE's profits will go up with the introduction of the ID policy, so far the journey I'm on has made at least £20 more from people not having ID and being forced to pay the adult fare
A lot more than it should tbh, it is stupid the way I see it as being a 16 year old myself why a 16 year old needs ID, 95% of people will not have it. Think the ID rule should only count if people look 18+
(21 Sep 2019, 2:36 pm)Jimmi wrote Got a quary regarding the X21 route, I'm in Bishop now and had the intention of catching it towards Durham/Newcastle from where Morrisons is but been left confused as looked on Google Maps suggests the route (Newcastle bound) stops at the Rail Station bus stop (as does BusTimes and timetables on bus stop) but GNE app and the reality is that it still goes up Newgate Street, so which is it?!It stops at both the stop where the steps down to the train station are , and the stop outside the medical centre, or at least it lets people off at both. I've always just walked to to the stop at the Medical centre to be on the safe side.
You might as well completely disgregard the GNE app in Bishop, half the stops are missing or say the bus doesn't stop there when it actually does. I've been reporting that issue since May
