Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2017
RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2017 - Pulsar - 01 Aug 2017
As I posted in Last Months thread, 7810 has been branded with "Explore the North East with MAX" rather than 308 branding as seen on the other 9 hybrids.
7810 is shown here in its new branding https://flic.kr/p/W48aKm
Personally, I think this looks better than the cluttered MAX liveries seen recently and also allows flexibility in allocations.

Not a fan tbh, the simple Best Impressions generic branding looks better than what the NE and Yorks marketing team have been spouting out recently.
Interesting that they're still wasting time and money designing stuff like this, seeing that the Max brand has been succeeded.

There is now!
Can add 7505 to the list of 43/44/45 branded examples.

Surprised they kept the old livery. I thought these might be the first north east repaints. Not complaining though as that livery is much better!

Technically not wrong, as they are being introduced to that route for the first time.

Anybody know is there anywhere in Whitby where u can obtain local bus timetables for Whitby town services and park & ride.
RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2017 - S813 FVK - 07 Aug 2017
What is wrong with the silver line that usually goes beneath the 'via' points on the branding? Even if only minor, the livery looks incomplete without it.
It has probably been done on purpose, given that they will be repainted in the next few years but if they have been bothered to spend money launching the 306/308 as MAX when the brand will be dropped in the same time amount of time, they should be able to spend what I imagine will be a much smaller amount on some silver strips and blue circles.

Removed in error.
1588 is on emergency loan to Ashington tonight, due to an incident on 4653. 1588 is on X18.

Same when they launched the 27/27A as Frequenta, them repainted Pulsars were new too!

Incident on 4653? That should be fun on the X18...
Newer than what the Gosforth residents have been complaining about for God knows how long anyway... At least they've used an E400 on the picture this time!

Not many passengers on board tbh, was some drunk lass being sick on 4653
These 43/44/45 E400s would be in the new livery had it not for the marketing team outright refusing to use it.

Surprised that 4653 was allocated to an all day duty on the X18 anyway to be honest. Issues with the E400s?

If they don't like the new livery, I would advise they go find another job elsewhere.

Enter the railway station by the Arriva office on the left and there's usually loads of leaflets on the left hand side. Or the tourist information office.
