#9 - a livery that was really designed in Microsoft Paint at 3am.....
And it looks like he's tried to create a website without people knowing who the author is... You have a photo of yourself at the bottom sat at a table of the Castles Express....#10 on your list.

To be honest I dislike the Arriva MAX livery.
(25 Mar 2016, 6:51 am)LeeCalder Why exactly would I create it without people wanting to know who the author is!
I asked people on my group (Which is a generic North East group), Simply GNE and via a survey.
So, sorry your all wrong.

Now now you two less of the fighting,everyone is entitled to their own opinion on bus liveries.
Why doe's everything seem to be about how bad something like route brandings are, how about sharing about how good something is instead? Mind that said if you do that you just get people saying your up the relevant companies arse.

(25 Mar 2016, 10:44 am)GX03 SVC So you hate Go North East so bad that almost every cover photo on your Facebook account.....wait for it....a Go North East vehicle. How odd?
A Go North East vehicle is used as a background on your website.......
And you go and do surveys on spotter groups full of idiots who bum Go North East, or in your group Arriva.
We all know that the opinions are yours. You're the type of person who writes that shit.

(25 Mar 2016, 11:39 am)Adrian What's the alternative? Don't market a service and let them dwindle away, because no one is using buses any more? The sooner we relocate everyone to 2016 the better.The negative comments about the same stuff everyday is really becoming painful, like how we're being told about us spitting our dummies out and being told to wake up and smell the coffee and yet almost everyday since I joined Facebook I've been saying the same thing about IndiGo about the colour, the puns and the fact it advertises frequent connections to Middlesbrough and Sunderland. Seriously why? Is route brandings really worth that much of your time? Am I now one of the few enthusiasts who is still about the buses themselves rather than what frock their wearing or anything else that the relevant company does? Also if you're going to argue about something, at least know what you are arguing about as otherwise you are only going to embarrass yourself.

That's just my thoughts on the matter, you are free to disagree with them but don't go moaning about how I've made comments that don't match with your own.

(25 Mar 2016, 11:58 am)Adrian Funny thing is that no one has seen the performance figures. Branding as indiGo and buying new buses could have created 80% growth for all we know.It's irritating that some bang on about it being pink and it being bright and colourful but like it's been said a few times something that is bright and eye-catching will make people notice it, I have no marketing experience or anything like that but I have even come to this opinion just from teachers in primary school telling us to make posters that are bright and colourful so people will notice them!

Best way to go about is to draw your own opinions on liveries and brandings. I do read other peoples opinions but I don't allow them to cloud my views.
For example:
Tynedale Links - I found the revised brand to be totally refreshing and a vast improvement over the previous version.
Arriva MAX - I said earlier I dislike this livery. It's not the brand itself I dislike, I just feel the the colours are the wrong way around.
It'll be interesting to see if you still have these views in a few years time, when you're banging on the door at Go North East, asking for a job because you so desperately want to be a bus driver? Will you be passing such comments to the interviewer? We need a new boss anyway, apparently. I can see you going straight to head office!
The blinkedness amazes me. The Consett network was invested in, and it proved to be the correct way to improve a local, suburban network, which over time had gained a slightly tarnised reputation. The same process has therefore been followed at Peterlee, Hexham & Percy Main, as the expected rewards are the same - or better - for the business.
I really don't understand why all of my comments are taken so seriously, those that are friends or know me well should now know that I say a lot of things in a sarcastic and mainly jesting manner. All because I made some sarcastic fun of some Go North East brands, and also some others world war three breaks out!
