Now the 45/46 is X Lines with the 47 extended to Consett doing the exact same route according to the branding on the side as the old Red Kite. It's all a bit confusing for someone who doesn't use buses very often.Red Kite was a nice brand on the Scania Omnicitys before the Streetlites and Dealer stock Gemini 2's arrived.
The contrasting swoop is on everything apart from the 47 aswell.
47 is a little different. 45 and 46 and 47 all serve Shotley Bridge but the 47 heads to Shotley Bridge Hospital before Ebchester.
the 47A goes to Ebchester then Medomsley redoing the old 46A kinda but then heads to the Hat & Feather by Leadgate.
its not that confusing tbh.
