I was on one of the newly Corporate liveried streetdecks the other day on the 10 and noticed it still had the interior roof panel vinyls for X5/X15.
Do they simply unpeal or does adhesive residue need scrubbed off too making it a bigger job?

I imagine the solos from the little coasters will start to be repainted soom

From what I can work out from Youngest's ramblings, 666 was on the 59 last Sunday and was red.

Although I did not see it I spoke to a Peterlee Driver on the 11th March who confirmed 666 had just arrived back at Peterlee fresh from repaint into fleet livery

666 is indeed in corporate livery - https://www.flickr.com/photos/apt358/519...ateposted/

Im always pleased when these turn up on the 10 or 47 rather than the garish green tens or dated looking rangers

6336 spotted at Saltmeadows in the Corp livery

Wonder if that i'll be the spare for the 58, or what route it will be the dedicated spare to

Apparently 6336 is in the Corporate Livery at Saltmeddows.

So do Riverside (and Hexham TVT operation) now effectively have 6001, 6049, 6050, 6336, 6337 as spare covering the following CAZ (Euro 6) decker PVR?

Total PVR = 37
10/10A/10B: 16x
27: 11x
58: 6x
X10: 4x

6336 was driving around Riverside later on around 1900.

Bus is now back in service after repaint on the 57

Seen at Gateshead this morning.

The Go north east above the destination just looks wrong, or is it just me 

Agreed. 
Wasn’t it because the Alexander Dennis logo hadn’t been removed by Saltmeadows prior to putting it into Xlines lively, so the GNE logo was put up there.

I thought during this repaint they would’ve removed the AD logo, plus the GNE logo above the destination.

Otherwise looks good.

Wonder why they don’t leave the Wright Gemini2/Streetlite/Streetdeck light surrounds black like they do with the AD MMC 200/400s.

Would they not have been better painting the front panel below the windscreen blue? Would look really good on the E400MMC.

No they trialled that look on a Solo, Omnicity and Omnidecka in 2019 and it cheapened the livery.
It looked like they’d have a panel replaced from a blue vehicle.

How come 6336 got it’s own thread rather than featuring in the 2019 Corporate Repaints thread?

Cos when I saw it I quickly made a thread, and it is the first repaint in 2019 livery from a Xlines Branding.

Is the Charcoal XLines Brandning dead?

Sorted this now.

I guess this means that the 3 spare Consett MMCs will be put into Xlines spare, seeing as they're the same spec this time.

just noticed the interior as had a update.

I was on it on the 78 a while ago and I have never been so cold on a bus. This was mid december I could see my breath for the 1hour 30 mins journey

That's the right number of spares for the X30's/X70's, X45/X46 and 47/47A with a total PVR of 24x. That leaves a spare ratio of 1x Euro 6 vehicle for every 8x (not including 6064 which can be used on the X45/X46 and 47/47A).

Only issue I can foresee longer term is if the PVR of the X30's & X70's eventually need an increase by 1x as it does seem a bit tight at the moment.

If there is a surplus of X Lines vehicles I’m surprised they didn’t leave these and repaint the oddballs like 6334/5 into standard livery instead

6334-5 are dedicated spares for the XLINES X21.

Strictly speaking, 6334/5 now form part of the PVR on the X21 (PVR 9)
