Seems like all the omnicities have 'contactless accepted' on the front window at the black part. Wonder what is next to get it?

(03 Apr 2018, 7:13 pm)OrangeArrow49 Blue Arrow OmniCity on 40 at Wallsend Metro just after 3pm today. I don't know if that is a normal allocation. Strangely no Blue Arrow OnniCities on the Blue Arrow 11 today!

GNE frequently use buses of one branding on another service in North Tyneside, as do Arriva. To me, that makes branding quite meaningless.

Very true. I don't see the point of branding if they can't do it properly, at least most of the time. The Coaster, Cobalt Clipper and indiGo services are usually correctly branded and the Quaylink. The corporate livery gives them flexibility, no reason to mix brands and services. Arriva usually has muddled branding I've noticed.

Percy main thinking is a bus is a bus and can go anywhere if it is working and spare it can go on any route and this has been the thinking for many year and will never change as I well now

Yes, I agree that a bus is a bus. Therefore don't introduce route branding. Different liveries, but not specific to any services, is a good option.

I might get the Coaster 1 to Wallsend next time if the Blue Arrow 11 isn't a Solar or an OmniCity. I don't want to get a President or an Omnidekka. It would be good to know when the 1 and 11 are branded vehicles.

There's at least 9 coaster deckers on and at least 3 blue arrows branded scanias on their respective routes. Probably more but there's plently like.
