It is not marked as "Crusader 27" on the PDF Timetable that is on Go North East's website.
Cobalt & Coast looks to be keeping the name as the name is on the new PDF timetable for these changes

I would guess the Cobalt&Coast brand will go when the 307/309 get EVs? Can't see new buses getting painted into Cobalt&Coast, most likely Voltra, potentially with sub-branding, but we haven't seen that so far with the 53/54, 58 or Q3, and I'm not sure if the X66 is getting any sort of sub-branding or not?

Does the Q3 need to be the Q3? Surely it should be the 303? Q1/Q2 became 51/52 and the 53/54 don't have any reference to serving the quayside so why does the Q3?  Either 3 or 303 would make sense.
