(03 Mar 2015, 6:21 pm)Michael The X66 colour will probables change, i think the X66 should go back to Centrelink blue i think that would look great on the Streetlites.


Lime - Probables stay the same colour but the brand style updated.

Red Kite - Probables be the same.


I hope the 27 gets a better brand... the current one is horrible. 
lookslike a Chinese logo when i saw it on my own turf for the 1st time i thought it looks Chinese if they transferred the former logo from renowns then it would look decent minus the jarrow march

Crusader branding looks like a Chinese takeaway.

Pronto sounds like a pizza takeaway.

I still think, as I've said before, that with new vehicles (hopefully) Pronto should be rebranded OK
Express, as the OK1 livery was great and the route of X21 is far more relevant to the old OK, which became part of GNE, than the Darlington / Middlesbrough route of the OK1.

I think Go North East should have a design competition to make pronto brand better and Crusader and the winning result gets a months free travel

In other news I was gonna post it yesterday but I was at a mates house aka Dean as it was his birthday but here it is for Dan is there any repainting news this week?

This is the reason why we are talking about the "Crusader" branding:

Wasn't the previous Crusader branding (on the Renown's) designed by a competition winner? It's bad when normal people can come up with better designs than the current branding.

Think the Pulse was designed by a competition winner too.

Yes, I too recall the Pulse brand being won by a member of the public's design.

Pulse was, but not sure about Crusader? I preferred the Jarrow marchers livery on the Renowns.

Yeah the older livery shown above was much better.

After looking on Google all I could see to back this up was this description on Ron and Tons BLOG https://ronandton.wordpress.com/2012/05/...er-renown/

I totally agree with you and all GNE neededs to do is repaint into that colours instead of the crap Silver.

I do wish the Mercs would go and bring in omnicity instead.

Although I liked the logo and not the Jarrow men on the bus my opinion the livery was ruined despite all that it was a canny ride despite the volvos age what they should have done is lower the Jarrow March transferred the logo to the Citaros and made where the red banner was black displaying where it serves if only Mike Shinoda or Wes Borland were here there designs would be epic

5256 out on 50's with no destination displays in Waldridge Road at 17:25.
The good news is bus branding works as customers indicated their intention to board the bus without hesitation.
