(24 Jan 2014, 2:53 pm)mattdw92 I'm told there are three fully branded ones which have arrived at PM. A further two should be moving across tomorrow.

(24 Jan 2014, 5:58 pm)Michael It looks really good

(24 Jan 2014, 5:59 pm)mattdw92 Think my only criticism would be the duplication of the "C". Maybe the Cobalt Clipper brand logo didn't need it...? - just the big "C". Looking good though.

(24 Jan 2014, 6:03 pm)citaro5284 Lets get the branding changed...haha

(24 Jan 2014, 6:08 pm)Michael The back of the bus branding seems different from to the other back of the B9 in the picture... or is it just me?

(24 Jan 2014, 6:14 pm)Dan As standard on recent (and future) brands, they will all have different 'taglines'.

(24 Jan 2014, 5:51 pm)Dan As seen below:

(24 Jan 2014, 6:19 pm)Michael Sorry should of being clearer, i meant the blue and red, the one in front seems shorter than the one behind, same as the blue and red near the indicators.

(24 Jan 2014, 6:32 pm)Tom They might be out tomorrow?

(24 Jan 2014, 6:36 pm)mattdw92 See what you mean.... bit of a branding blunder I think
Think 6101's is better, clean silver rear.

Shame that 309 & 310 don't run every 10 mins, with each running every 15 mins giving a combined 7/8 min frequency. Unless changes are planned.

(24 Jan 2014, 5:39 pm)andreos1 The FPP deny all knowledge of these incidents - although I have yet to speak to the leader of the FPF, who is reportedly on his way back from a top secret mission.

If you saw OAP pass holders making the bus late by apparently struggling to register their pass or got annoyed at the empty pop bottles rattling around and banging off your feet, chances are that the top secret mission of the day was 'operation disruption'.
Other incidents connected to this operation, included putting up temporary traffic lights/pretendy road works.
These were situated in various locations, including:
* Bournmoor
* Albany
* Near Nissan

Services disrupted by these actions, involved the 56 (see comments from yourself and Michael), the 50, 78 and 4.

If a GNE representative can confirm that they received a call earlier today, with the recognised code words 'MY KEY CARD IS NOT WORKING', then chances are the FPF have been out and about today.

(24 Jan 2014, 7:29 pm)busman101 & there was me thinking that the FPF were out and about every day, wreaking havoc on the unsuspecting travelling public !!!

Those temporary lights on the 56 are a bit of a pain in the rump as I had a trip out on it yesterday on me way to a meeting on the dark side (not Fencehouses), although I have been close to there this week.

(24 Jan 2014, 9:54 pm)Adam Malarkey Yeah I got on those Roadworks a few weeks back on the 56 when I did the whole from Sunderland to Newcastle, The ones at Wrekenton were the Worst, for Today on the 8 it was just the Metro Newspapers for me otherwise the Journey to The Galleries went by smoothly.

(24 Jan 2014, 10:21 pm)andreos1 It sounds like 'operation disruption' didn't cause that much disruption for you today!

All I can say, is keep your eyes peeled Malarkey!
