Though Washington routes would be alright as most services have MPDs or Cadets/Merits on them, And the Solo that GNE buys is nearly halfway in size between a MPD and a Cadet so fits in just nicely.

It may sound odd but for customers, if it helps them to recognise their bus etc then that all that matters and not the name or the cosmetic side(what the brand looks like) of things.
I guess as an enthusiast, then if it is "Blue arrow" it does as I say sound odd and would of probably preferred if any brand name was related to the number of the route or anything that has any meaning to the route but I won't be losing sleep either way.

(01 Jul 2016, 4:32 pm)citaro5284 Me neither, and I bet I need more beauty sleep than you BLM
I dont know the brand name to be honest, but if it is called Blue Arrow, does it not make sense that there is already a Green Arrow going to the Metrocentre and they share common sections of route from Newcastle?
Mr Thompson then.......

I agree on the Blue Arrow and Green Arrow sharing sections of route point.

I am guessing this ''100% easy access fleet'' no longer includes the 8 Volvo Olympians still in service.

Blue Arrow, Silver Arrow; I don't care as long as there's no more Indigo.
From what I have gathered, the points being made against 'Blue Arrow' seem to be because there is already a 'Green Arrow' brand.
I, personally, don't see anything wrong with it. A valid point that has been raised is that the 11 and 97 both operate between Metrocentre and Newcastle and to similar routes at that. I think it would make sense to maybe show that the services have a similarity and this can easily be done through the branding. Afterall, a similar thing was done with the Citylink brand was introduced to service 57 on a different colour. Nobody complained about that so I honestly don't see what is any different here (providing that is the brand, of course).
