(04 Jun 2014, 11:16 am)Scott Most adverts are vinyls which just peel of when finished with, so I would imagine they would. I think they would probably wait until they have all be refurbished.

Depending on the length of time the vinyl is applied for, they can leave behind some hideous marks which means that they would have to be repainted again.

(04 Jun 2014, 11:51 am)Scott I've seen a bad examble on one of Gon North East's Blaydon Racers, where you could see the outlines of the Red Arrows vinyls.

Yes, the vinyl marks left behind on the windows from the Red Arrows cannot be removed.

The ex-London artics had marks left behind from London vinyls which could be seen with the old branding on the X66 (can't remember if you can with the new branding or not).

Not sure. Hard to tell from photos on twitter.

Unsure whether it is the station itself or the bushes on the top.

Anyone know what was up with the Metro today? An alleged 'technical fault' - taking 3 hours for the disruption to clear!

Funny story... An old woman was talking to my mam the other day and asked how reliable the 9 was, as she doesn't usually get the bus and only uses the Metro... She claimed the Metro was always on time and very reliable.

She has very low expectations then. I've given up on the Metro south of the Tyne. It's not as bad north of it though.

I've gave up with the North side of the river Tongue

Always a failed train when I use it, either that, or I miss the connecting 17 at Wallsend Tongue

- much easier to get the 1.
