"OK way /Express as North East or Northern would promote a quality brand with an "Established heritage"

----

Rather not have them back if i'm going to be honest, we had "Northern" in some form and everyone moaned about it... It wasn't the best though.

Why do people want to go back to older liverys when it's 2017, maybe the older generation will enjoy the come back of older liveries but no one else will or notice them.

They should just stick to one livery and leave it the same for a while...

I do agree on buses been on the wrong routes is confusing though but sometimes it can't be helped.

(26 Jan 2017, 4:14 pm)S813 FVK That is a question that has been asked several times before and is also one that has not been answered - probably going to be a case of 'let the marketing team reveal what is happening'.

I do think that it is strange that new buses are being deployed on a service that will be debranded in line with the new vehicles as opposed to being branded. It maybe isn't one of the strongest brands but I certainly wouldn't withdraw it given the brands background (although not too relevant to the areas served!)

5452 has entered service at Riverside on the 49/49A: https://www.flickr.com/photos/nebp2/3172...otostream/

They are to get sub-branding for the 49s of some description.

Ye, wonder if they've put a logo of the 49's on the side, like they did when they branded Deptfords "X36/X37" and "Nine" at Percy Main.

Yeah, but they were pretty naff brands which didn't have much customer appeal, branded for the sake of branding them... so hopefully "The 49s" is a little more stylish and doesn't look slapped on last minute.

Like any change, no doubt it'll be like marmite too, like!
I do like change, but I also get to see what was to had. For example, when 3885-9 came off the X30/1s, I realised how badly they needed the peak time space that the 97 person capacity that the 50-60 person capacity that the omnicities simply don't have. Of course the buses are a similar size and it's just paint at the end of the day, but we'll see 😛

5455 has been delivered to Riverside depot this morning and has branding for service 49 group.

It is rather minimalist and is a big departure from the previous Blaydon Racer brand!

Going to be honest, it's not bad but could be better.

Hoping the Blaydon Racers brand will be put on another service in the future.

Wouldn't surprise me if there is more brandings in this style to come, service 18 possibly being one of them?

Doesn't look too bad I feel.

Maybe, would be good to have some sort of route branding on most/all services (with newer/new) although it will cost a lot of money so it seems doubtful but i'm not saying you're wrong Jimmi, you never know.

This 49 livery is unoriginal and boring. Another step in the wrong direction .... and is proper branding on the way out? Why not keep Blaydon Racers? Or couldn't they think of a different name or colour, as happened with IndiGo.
