Would it not have made sense to do it on a 2019 liveried bus? I think the PVR at Consett for the X30 etc uses all 14 e400s?

Or possibly 6337, which has just been repainted into 2019 fleet livery (so could have avoided a repaint!)

So will 6338 be used solely at Consett or rotated around depots?

I believe the plan is for it to remain at Consett, where it forms part of the PVR of the X-lines services there - the brand of course being slightly diluted by the fact there won’t be enough branded buses to meet PVR.

Never mind some smart arse advert......some Enviro's in black 'X-Lines' and suitable vehicle allocations for passengers in Teesside, East Durham, the Wear Valley and Durham City would definitely 'get bums onboard'.

I was hoping you were being sarcastic…but…Jesus Henry Christ

Focus on the leisure market - that is where growth is, focus on the £2 price point…

Quirky zany marketing stuff like this is very 2020….the whole company seems stuck in a low budget time warp

Not too sure how effective it would be, applying an allover advert to a bus that seems to spend more time off the road, than on!

Given the significant amount of money that’s been spent on repairing it, I should hope (once it returns to service) that it will be in fine fettle!

So I can take a dog upstairs and put my feet on the seats now, hmmmmm...

Sure that would go down well.

I might be in a minority but these make me want to use the bus less. Not that I particularly want to anyway as they're crap.

I’ve always thought their Streetdecks and B9s should’ve had black headlight surrounds.

Tbf they were blatently designed to be painted black (or silver), same with the Enviro 400's.

They missed the light cluster below on the B9's though.
