Is it in a two-tone blue road stripe base?
RE: Go North East - Recent Repaints - Train8261 - 16 Jul 2021
No unfortunately not. Not that I can see off. Just looks like there keeping it all blue. Doesn't look like a seat retrim ethier

The interior on them is still spot on, definitely doesn't need refurbishment yet. Good clean, but no re-trims or anything.

That seems strange, I wonder if they're going to introduce yet another branding style then as both the road stripe and 'voltra' style were painted with a 2 tone base iirc.
They don't need a re-trim, I'd take those blue e-leather seats over the new moquette any day, especially since it's wipe clean!

Yes - light blue at the front and dark blue at the back (similar to Little Coasters, but not exactly the same).

So, one could assume it's just an upscaled version of the Little Coasters livery

After seeing the StreetLite in light blue now. I'm wondering what the Durham Diamond will look like on the Volvo B5LH

Streetdeckfan or someone else might mock it up for you, if they're feeling generous.
RE: Go North East - Recent Repaints - Train8261 - 19 Jul 2021
What shade of blue is the Durham Diamond as I quite like it and it would suit the Volvo B5LH nicely

Going from the other liveries, I'd guess it'd maybe look something a little like this.
For some reason, the colours exported wrong, but I can't be arsed to mess around with it, just imagine it's a bit bluer

I think it's a given that the back will stay dark blue, but i wonder whether they'll go with a lighter blue for the front, or with maybe a silver to make it stand out a bit more and make it a bit more 'diamondy'
RE: Go North East - Recent Repaints - Train8261 - 19 Jul 2021
Imagine if they threw back to the old Durham Diamond when it was orange

Not sure if it was confirmed previously but looks like the B7RLEs were indeed for the X66.
Wonder if they'll gain private plates to hide the fact that they're replacing a newer vehicle.
