RE: Repaints into 2019 fleet livery
Having seen it up close presumably fresh out the shop, a repainted (refurbished?) E400 does look very smart in corporate livery. On the downside, it is a reminder that GNE is no longer really a trailblazer or even very ambitious, they are just an ordinary bus company. The most common type of decker in a very ordinary base colour. The stripes do work, being the perfect width and shape to act as relief and a unique identifier. Sadly you cannot ever really say that identity isn't straight up corporate in nature. Which is so odd, given other companies in the group have really tried to go the more traditional, local, dare I say bland route. Bland is good, if your ambition is lacking.
