(18 Dec 2016, 8:26 pm)LeeCalder Yes, if they are done correctly. Look at Transdev's Coastliner launch and the publicity it has received.
And by correctly, I don't mean by handing out crayons.......
(18 Dec 2016, 8:29 pm)Michael What did they do right?, i haven't took notice.
(18 Dec 2016, 8:34 pm)S813 FVK Nothing more than what GNE do. I don't see what all the fuss is about regarding GNE not doing things correctly although, in some peoples eyes, they could never do anything correctly if they tried.I attended both the GNE X21 and Transdev Yorkshire Coastliner launches and there wasn't a great deal of difference of what was done at the launches, from what I can remember both hand timetables to hand out. Transdev offered a free sweet to people plus balloons whilst GNE gave a bag with a drawing with crayons in.

E.g.: Blaydon Racers could be getting New Buses and also the brand getting a striking new refresh!!
Just an idea!

(18 Dec 2016, 11:08 pm)thetravelman They could also be for another brand of which is going to receive a refresh!I can't see these being for the 49's with a new/revised brand just because they seem to be the same colour as the Metrocentre X66 StreetLite's and it's probably not the best idea having both routes using the same type of buses in the same colour especially as at Gateshead Interchange and MetroCentre Bus Station the two services leave from adjacent stands.
