Our first two freshly repainted and refurbished Tyne Valley 10 double-decks hit the roads today. These bright  green/blue buses are sure to stand out! The white/orange stripe combo is in keeping with our X-lines buses which offer faster journey times between Newcastle & Hexham.

Despite my previous reservations, they do actually look rather smart, although I'll have to reserve judgement until I see them in person.

I wonder how thorough the refurbishment has been, I'm guessing it was just reupholstering the seats and nothing more since I can't see USB ports in the backs of the seats.
If that is the case, hopefully they did something about the sockets that rarely ever worked, even when they were new!
