The way I read Dan's comment (and I could be wrong) is that streetdecks will move to Consett soon, B5's onto X21, maybe even in Dark Blue until repaint , then B9's temporarily onto X9/10 till coaches come.

(20 Jul 2020, 11:07 am)JP6004 6311 hasn't been out since 13th july...same time as 6331, perhaps first B5 to be repainted ready for swap?Possibly a 3 way swap with a B9 from Consett? Would make sense if they were to do it that way, a repainted streetdeck to Consett, a repainted B5 onto X21 and a B9 onto X9/10 all at the same time. Wonder if that will be the way forward?

Wonder if that will be the way forward?Certainly looks like that may be the way. Although not sure how X9/X10 passengers will feel with the B9s. Although tbf they'll be used to the spares constantly running!

Although tbf they'll be used to the spares constantly running!I wonder, if that is the plan, if the red kite B9's will be the first to go on X9/10 (could explain the attempt at partial debranding) or whether the ex London ones will go to riverside and the new to GNE B9's will go on X9/10 and the ex London step into their normal routes?

The first Streetdeck for the X45/46/47 is in the yard at Hownsgill. The green is a lot brighter than the X30 and the red kite remains!

(20 Jul 2020, 7:34 pm)streetdeckfan It's very bright! Wonder what it's like in personJust walked past the depot and it is brighter than it appears in pics! Looks a little darker than the old lime colour on the b10ble's but the secondary colour could be the same lime shade. Still bright and eye catching though. I think it's a great choice of colours.

The fact the old fleet was whisked away before is forgotten and you get a better launch out of it

That shop til you drop tagline is ironically perfect for our current socially distanced shopping world...
