(21 Jan 2020, 7:36 pm)Andreos1 Omni on the 25 had a coming together earlier this evening. 
The front nearside of the Omni was damaged and the rear offside of a car was also damaged. 

I passed after the RTC and could see the damage to both vehicles. 
Came back not too long after and the Omni had gone, but the car was abandoned on the side of the road. 

Glass everywhere on the road surface
I think it might be 5270 involved .

Didnt manage to catch Id at all to be fair. 
Was hoping to get it coming back, but with it scooting off, I'd missed the opportunity. 

Sure it will be confirmed in due course.

Not a fan of the gold and red I have to say. Seems to be a bit of a clash.
Then again, it may look better once it's actually on the bus

So far, my favourite is the generic charcoal X-Lines livery, followed by blue, green and then purple (or whatever they call it)

You know what, I take back my previous opinion of not liking the red X-Lines
I had a quick play in Photoshop and it does look rather smart

And yes, I know the X1s will be E400s, but there's no high res photos of a clean X30!

I think the X1 will look absolutely fantastic after seeing your render, if not the best X-lines variant out of the lot. Red and gold go together really well, in fact most of the colour schemes work up to now. I think the only variant that won't look appealing will be the purple for X9|X10, but that's coming from me being a designer who would never use those two colours adjacently. (By any chance, could you do a quick X9|X10 render?) Saying that, the maroon colour for X6|X7 & X20 is similar to what X9|X10 is intended to be, and I do like that.

I can't even imagine what Tynedale Express will look like with two almost visually similar colours, but who knows?

Also had a quick play around with the X84, see if I could figure something out that could work and not just look like a completely gold bus!

Looking at the X-lines designs streetdeckfan has done:
The X1 looks quite nice
The X9/X10 looks too much like a chocolate bar!
The X84/X85 looks...gross, disgusting and hideous.

My favourite so far is the spares charcoal livery. I don't like the blue and gold combination so much, I prefer the silver and blue on the Cobalt and Coast.

What other liveries besides X-lines are changing in the near future?

Well, with the X1 I had something to go off, the X10 and X84 were complete guesses as to what the colour combination will be.

I tried orange and blue with it but it just didn't look good together

The Fugly Fifty Six will be going soon, I hope!
The 49 has had its vinyls removed, but I guess it'll just stay as corporate rather than getting its own livery.
