I am led to believe that all of these will be fully branded come tomorrow. As you will already be aware, the service will start this coming Sunday (7th April).

The branding looks okay compared to recent GNE rebrands.

Be interesting to see who wins the battle for passengers, going up against Arriva's well established service could be a mistake.
i think Go North East could pull it off easy wonder whats gonna happen to the 2 mpds that were previously in black and green livery but with go north east passengers will get a bargain and a nice ride considering these bendys have been on X66 from 1st bought new til 58 was upgraded with bendys in 2012 which makes them 11 years on X66 then 1 year and abit as spare to 58/X66 covering for a knackered citaro now X40/40A since it has been branded to be honest these scanias are still powerhorses they act like the riged sisters eg 4949 which is the same age or 5227 that also acts like a proper good bendy bus despite being 9 years old 5227 wonder how long it will take to put an X40 Bendy on 58/N58/58X or X66 covering for a poorly citaro am gonna say a day
