Tyne Valley Ten re-brand - Michael - 21 Aug 2021
6071 has been repainted to Blue back and Green front.
Seen on the The Real UK Bus Enthusiasts by Alexander Thomas Elliott Cromarty
Not the best colour combo... might change my mind when its branded.
Won't let me upload a picture...............

It's like that ladies tattoo, "You can't unsee it"
I also notice again Blackburn have the done rear too far back as they did with the East Gateshead Loop/Rider B9's.

I was half expecting the suggested livery myself. Ithink the green is too bright however the branding might change things
RE: Go North East - Recent Repaints - 54APhotography - 22 Aug 2021
Agree entirely, that was the widely held assumption. Lurid green is a bit of a surprise to say the least.

Expecting to see the Tynedale Link buses get repainted too - in to sort of the same colours.... if GNE have won the contracts again.

That was just the date of the service changes. All the contracts expire next March.

Can’t tell if the bit about the blue is a joke or not.
Maybe it’s because the sky is blue and the bus passes under the sky?
