Nice to see that they have kept the coloured background for the route number just to further develop route recognition.

We are taking them off the rest as the white looks to stand out better by itself. Work in progress, with the update last night the Mercedes on the Crusader and Blaydon Racer lost their background colours.
I heard a little cry when the new programme went it, but thats life....

I quite like the Arial font. Better than the full white destinations (or close to being) imo!
Mind, Hamilton threw the Hungarian Grand Prix away like didn't he. Apologies for going off topic.

Aye he did, just pleased he extended his lead over Rosberg.

All services at Gateshead now have Arial route numbers too, excluding the X66 which has the special 'X' (as found on the Tynedalexpress). Looks quite good on the X66 if I do say so myself.
Hexham-based "TEN" branded Volvo B9TLs haven't been updated yet, and won't be until next Sunday. This is when I think the coloured square will be removed from the 10/10A/10B destinations completely.

Wasn't the X66 already an Arial number? With you saying 'excluding', i assume the X is a different font (the closest i can find is 'Arial Narrow Bold Italic' with the lines going above and below the route number manually drawn on)?

I don't think Arial was used previously on the X66 destinations - compare the two route numbers below:

Go North East: 5392 / NK15EMX by Daniel Graham, on FlickrI can't remember which font was used, but it certainly doesn't appear to be Arial. The 'X' is now completely drawn manually, with the '66' in Arial Bold Italics.

Citaro 5296 is out on the Diamonds today - still with the registration plate issue on the front. The rear reads NK08 CGY as normal.

Wouldn't be the first time there has been a registration cock up. In 2000 Lothian Buses and Travel West Midlands both had a Volvo B7TL / Plaxton President going around at the same time with the same registration.

Pretty sure I can recall Stagecoach in Sunderland having a similar issue to Go North East whereby registrations were swapped and then swapped back again, too?

In the news, you have put 3941 down as being at Saltmeadows as opposed to 3942 in the relevent 'Recent Repaints' article.

Will GNE get anymore funding to upgrade any more of the scania's to Euro 5 standard?

Spotted 5296 this morning and I'm pretty sure the front registration was fine.

Have to laugh at the incompetency of Nexus. All these stand changes and they can't even print out the new layout on any decent sized bit of paper!

Nice to see that theyve swapped it back. Certainly wasn't correct yesterday.
