I'm still new to all this and getting used to it but I was on the X10 heading to Middlesbrough today and had a question about the Gemini 3s and would also apply to the new Streetdeck Hybrids. I know several people have expressed the negative side to the large rear advertisement but does it effect the integrity of the rear window being an emergency exit. As a student of engineering, it would seem to me that the rear advertisement may effect how easily the window breaks in an emergency (however unlikely it were to happen). Surely it would not have been added if this were a factor.
P.s sorry if this has already been asked

However, they're stuck between promoting a brand and making money through advertising.
Something has to give and this seems the middle ground.

6056 is seen here on Churchill Street heading to Wrekenton tonight. Grab shot on my phone whilst I walked home from work. https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photog...ateposted/

(10 Jan 2018, 12:07 am)Jordan2104 When will the cobalt clipper NSAs be updated? They still advertise the old logo and website too

(10 Jan 2018, 11:16 am)Dan This should be the bus allocated every day for the next four weeks (unless it's VOR for any reason), hence its extended loan to Deptford from Chester-le-Street.
Demo StreetDeck SK17 HHC has been acquired by Go North East for use at Chester-le-Street.

(10 Jan 2018, 5:58 am)Dan 6060 is the only one out of the ones at Percy Main which aren't working - bus was VOR on both Sunday evening and all day on Monday, so could not be updated.
It should be updated at some point this morning.
Now that the Volvo B9s on Cobalt Clipper are 4-years old, I would expect a re-branding exercise at some point this year.
Norham Road Bridge is due to re-open again shortly too - perhaps it could all coincide nicely with that?
