Repainting of Coast & Country Streetlites
Repainting of Coast & Country Streetlites
Saw one of the Country Ranger Streetlites when I was dragged over to Sunderland this morning.
Whilst the shades of green are a bit darker than I expected (not helped by the wonderful weather), but I think it suits it more than the neon green they used on the TVT
(08 Dec 2021, 4:02 pm)KingSlayerRBLX Guessing 5408 is the first Consett C&C lite to get branded into the CountryRanger for the 78?Not sure if it's still there but 5408 has been sat at the front of Hownsgill depot since the beginning of Nov. Last week it was minus a couple of body parts including front light cluster covers.

I believe the CLS examples are being done first, then the two white Streetlites will move up to Hownsgill to allowed their examples to be done.

I know this is a bit off topic for repaints but is it just me who thinks the 8 and 78 should be different brands. They're now 2 completely different bus routes and don't serve the same corridor at any point in the route since the changes between Stanley and CLS. There's no real reason for them to be in the same brand imo.

Out of interest, how many vehicles are still in the queue for repaint/rebrand from the September 2021 changes?

(03 Jan 2022, 6:22 pm)Dan Just two light green X-lines StreetDeck (6331 & 6332), having been replaced by the Red Kite Ranger 47.Take it one of the 70 plate streetdecks will go into red xlines for PVR increase on X1?
I don’t think any of the others can really be argued as being a direct result of the service changes. Most of the changes are to prepare and mobilise the fleet for the Clean Air Zone and/or natural brand refreshes.
For example there are three indiGo branded Solo remaining - although this isn’t as a direct result of the service changes, part of it was a ‘natural’ re-brand to Peterlee Purple (which is why they have taken so long). Those remaining are 664 - 666 (1x Blonde and 2x fleet livery).
All the Consett Coast & Country Streetlites remain, but this was a natural re-brand.
All the Blue 61 Citaros remain, but this was a natural re-brand.
The four X-lines X5/15 StreetDeck will be replaced by Hybrids 6065-68 (the first three now repainted, branded, seats reupholstered with USBs fitted, and tables added to the upper saloon), so these will also require repaint, but this was for the CAZ and not service changes.
The forthcoming changes at the end of January will release a further two StreetDeck from the light green X-lines brand (6333 and one from the new batch) and the five Hexham ADL E400s (6352/53 now done, 6354/55 at Saltmeadows now, 6337 still in service at Hexham).
