Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - July 2018
Seems like there's plans in place to replace the EYMS deckers already, which i would imagine is the Omnidekka's.

(22 Jul 2018, 7:25 am)TyneWearTeesGNE Stagecoach copied Go North East!?Advertisers just ask for buses to be painted. It's a little confusing and I don't think it should happen for full wrap but heh. I'll be surprised if any public members get confused.

This one is slightly different as it's more of a partnership than an advertisement. The companies would usually get paid for this sort of thing, but not in this instance. Hence Stagecoach going for the cheaper version of wrapping the bus in vinyl rather than full repaint plus vinyl on top.

(23 Jul 2018, 4:28 am)Dan Having seen it in person, I think the Enviro looks absolutely naff! A big gripe of mine is the advertisement rails being kept on the bus when they have no intention of being filled (but obviously there's a cost implication of removing them). The black cant rail on the Versa also helps to break up the pink so it sits a lot nicer on that vehicle type, in my opinion.
Really not sure why the Stagecoach example contains two #GetNorth2018 hashtags either, with very minimal Stagecoach branding (one very small logo on the front and that's it - the second #GetNorth2018 hashtag above the doors could have been substituted for a Stagecoach logo quite easily.

(23 Jul 2018, 5:54 pm)Dans_bus_photos I suppose its good enough for the remaining 6 weeks or so left of the exhibition. I wonder how much it has cost Go North East to carry out the repaints and rebranding of the Versa's into this livery and then back into the Quaylink livery afterwards, especially if they don't receive any funding towards it.

Re Advert boards.
Worst has to be the Red Kite Geminis, advert boards right across the branding of such an eye-catching application. I can only suspect that they are near to repaint in the near future, although have had their advert boards since May.
