"OK way /Express as North East or Northern would promote a quality brand with an "Established heritage"
----
Rather not have them back if i'm going to be honest, we had "Northern" in some form and everyone moaned about it... It wasn't the best though.
Why do people want to go back to older liverys when it's 2017, maybe the older generation will enjoy the come back of older liveries but no one else will or notice them.
They should just stick to one livery and leave it the same for a while...
I do agree on buses been on the wrong routes is confusing though but sometimes it can't be helped.
(26 Jan 2017, 4:14 pm)S813 FVK That is a question that has been asked several times before and is also one that has not been answered - probably going to be a case of 'let the marketing team reveal what is happening'.
I do think that it is strange that new buses are being deployed on a service that will be debranded in line with the new vehicles as opposed to being branded. It maybe isn't one of the strongest brands but I certainly wouldn't withdraw it given the brands background (although not too relevant to the areas served!)

#5455
Prior to entering service; this vehicle has received Go North East's corporate livery with "The 49s" branding.
(27 Jan 2017, 10:19 am)RBZ 5459 Interesting name. Does exactly hat it says on the tin I suppose....
(27 Jan 2017, 10:23 am)Michael Ye, wonder if they've put a logo of the 49's on the side, like they did when they branded Deptfords "X36/X37" and "Nine" at Percy Main.

(27 Jan 2017, 10:51 am)RBZ 5459 Yeah, but they were pretty naff brands which didn't have much customer appeal, branded for the sake of branding them... so hopefully "The 49s" is a little more stylish and doesn't look slapped on last minute.

(27 Jan 2017, 11:31 am)westy3738 5455 has been delivered to Riverside depot this morning and has branding for service 49 group.
It is rather minimalist and is a big departure from the previous Blaydon Racer brand!

This 49 livery is unoriginal and boring. Another step in the wrong direction .... and is proper branding on the way out? Why not keep Blaydon Racers? Or couldn't they think of a different name or colour, as happened with IndiGo.
A Streetlite is on blaydon racers near the metro centre now if anyone wants a photo (Winlaton bound).
