(12 Dec 2017, 10:09 pm)S813 FVK They are also listed on the NEB fleet list.

Thanks. I seem to have bookmarked an historical list as the deckers stop at 3648:

I noticed a Double Decker dual door Viking on Driver Training duties today in Blaydon. Complete with L plates also.

6319 looks decent, but again, until you get to the back, which just looks utterly ridiculous. More unhappy people stood up on the back of the bus, and what's with the two black parts which come all the way down to the bumper? Makes it look as though The Angel logo has been stuck on as an afterthought.

What about the seat coverings? 
It just needs a Graeme Murty mask on that headrest!

Looks very cluttered, and I agree with the Angel vinyl looking like an afterthought. Still think Arriva's route 'maps' on the back of their Sapphire vehicles is one of the best ways to go regarding putting stickers on the rear of the bus. 

Pleased to see they've returned to the destination with via points though.

Not just Arriva who do that, the majority of the recent Go North East brands have a route map on there too:

I think, in this case, a route like the above was probably the best to take. While I understand what they are trying to do with the pictures, I think the execution could have been better (ie making the bus seem like a pleasant environment, rather than a cramped one that involves standing).

Arriva just sprang to mind being from an Arriva dominated area. 


I think, had they gone for the route 'map' (such as those in the picture), they could have kept the old roller blind-esque displays, on the rear at least. I agree with much of what has been said regarding the pictures, I don't enjoy standing up on a 5 minute journey into the city centre, never mind (what could potentially be) Durham to Newcastle!
