Looks good & UnCluttered (compared to previous branding and many GNE brands) Could be a nice template for future brands to develop a semi-corporate style, which Go North East lacks. For Example: Keep the rear swoop on a limited number of base colours (although I would prefer one corporate) but only change name "Centurion" "Diamond" etc... with corresponding symbol replacing the torch seen on Centurion. I would have dropped the "The" and simply branded "Centurion"
Who knows! It could even be adopted for Nexus (or whatever brand they want to use when QCS comes into operation)

5161 was in use at Peterlee but 547 has taken its place until the end of the Millburngate roadworks.

5162 still being used on the 20.

It is working - it's just programmed as a flipdot display (wrong switch setting) and as such the LEDs on the rear display are loads of squiggly lines.
