Personally Ive always loved the Doxford Clipper Branding.

8/78 I quite like Coast and Country, would be better if they spent more time at the coast tho.

Or minimal branding with the following..........

- Go North East Corporate - all services not mentioned below
- CityLink (21, 56)
- NE-Xpress (X10, X21, X30/X31)*
- Connecting Newcastle & Gateshead (Q3, 53, 54)
- COASTLINE (306, 307, 308, 309)

For NE-Xpress:
- All E400MMC move to Riverside Depot including Riverside operating the X30/X31.
- Volvo B5TL and or StreetDecks to Consett to replace E400MMCs on X45 and X71/X72.
- Consett in turn get the 12 which interworks with the 6.
- X31 extended to Lanchester in place of the hourly 6 extension. Remote reliefs for X30/X31 at Eldon Square or Dunston.

Yeah, extend them to Seaburn, make them actually Coast and Country for the summer at least.

Honestly, I think a summer service to Seaburn is something GNE is missing right now. The 50 is apparently quite popular on Sundays to Marsden.

In all seriousness, the only routes that should be branded are:

21, X10, X21

306/307/308/309 - Joint GNE & Arriva brand for Coast Road services

Everything else GNE corporate with the priority being a stable and robust network that doesn't chop & change constantly!

Yeah it does have those 2005 vibes also, I'd say it looks better than the current corporate livery.

Do those in strong support of the X66 receiving three different retro liveried vehicles believe patronage fell through the floor while the service has been running corporate/non-route branded vehicles, and believe that this latest tactic will increase loads?

They must do. 

There was some conversation on here a while back, relating to the 2/2a and how the livery on there had got people talking. So must be working.

Except there's a world of difference between people talking and people actually using a bus because it fulfils their requirements.

It took me a while to realise the copy and paste generator had been creating desire in London and this wasn't actually a part of Bensham that I didn't recognise.

Owned by Passenger Plus, Tadworth who specialise in Corporate Contracts and Rail Replacement.

They have four of them all entering service in September 2023.
YD73FRV
YD73FRX
YD73FRU
YD73FRZ

They seem to be very elusive to cameras, and probably running a closed door contract or even operating somewhere that isn't publically accessible. Chances of that one in the reel might have been heading to or from the depot.

There is a photo of one on their website - https://www.passengerplus.co.uk/our-fleet.htm

Surely given it's a blatant copy GNE would be well within their rights to go after them for copyright infringement on the design?
