Wonder if recent repaints of the "Country Ranger Streetlites" are an indicator of potential New Buses arriving in fleet which is long overdue.

Doubt it, probably just a case of getting rid of the branding

GNE have changed the 8/78 in to GNE colours on the their timetable list.

Probably more it was a completely stupid brand with 2 bus routes which were completely irrelevant to each other bar roughly 4 stops.

Have GNE painted any of there dual door buses in a "non corporate" livery? Reason i has is a DD dual door was going over the a1 towards Lobley hill/whickham and could swear it was a GNE bus. was light green at front and dark at back?

That'll be Northstar E400. They have two of them
RE: Repaints into 2019 fleet livery - V514DFT - 10 Jun 2025
Since the 1 (soon 301) started going to the Metrocentre I always thought a better name should be applied (Coast and County perhaps) but as brands seem to be slowly vanishing, I kept the idea to myself

Ah right - are they not getting rid of the centre doors? Just GNE seem to take a lot of flack on here for running theres?

Depends what they're doing, if they're only on school runs it doesn't really matter as they'll know whether there's a wheel chair or not. Only really an issue on public services. I don't think anyone would have issue with dual door buses with GNE if they were on the school runs, but they're not.

6318 seems to have had an allover wrap.
Excluding the front end.

They can wrap it but can’t fix the rear display that’s been missing for best part of a year

Why did 638 go to go north west? Why did it come back and why is it still in Go north west fleet colours. It’s an odd bus. Was 637 withdrawn ?

Hopefully it might go once the changes to the 9 happen in July.
I would think atm, its been used to cover the repaints at Deptford.

Noticed the graphites are being painted at present how about the last silver fox and the drifters

All should be done soon, hopefully.
I think the only brands what should remain at Deptford is the:
Cityrider
Prince Bishops
Sunderland Connect

I wonder which depot will be done next, Country Ranger is currently getting repainted too.
RE: Repaints into 2019 fleet livery - Acky81 - 22 Jun 2025
Branding should just be scrapped all together imo

Was seemingly needed at GNW for whatever reason for a bit, when it became surplus at GNW, it transferred back to GNE (I think as a result of Nexus contract gains?), think it was only meant to be a short term solution (hence lack of repaint) but for whatever reason, it's still clinging on.
RE: Repaints into 2019 fleet livery - deanmachine - 24 Jun 2025
Funnily enough, I just had 638 tonight on the 25. Still just as strong as the 16 plates at the depot, canny little bus still, that's probably why it's hanging on.
