Note 6331 previously had been on the Angel 21 but along with 6332&6333 was repainted into X-Lines. These were technically the Spares the 21 so when X21 became the x lines X21 these were repaint for the X21 with 6301-6303 (16 Regs) being the spare vehicles for both the 21&X21 (This was a while ago and not recent).
The Gemini 3s were sent to Blackburn to be repainted due to lack of space at GNE Saltmeadows workshop.
The X9/10 is currently being served by Gemini 2s from other reduced services until drivers are trained on Levante coaches which will operate the services until the Elite coaches arrive from down South.
The Gemini 3s repaint (6314)
Returned from Blackburn Bus & Coach World following repaint and also Volvo getting modified for its new route it will be allocated namely XLines X21 soon to gain the XLines X21 branding where it will run from Newcastle to West Auckland via Durham and Bishop Auckland seen here in Saltmeadows...
