This vehicle has received a special livery to promote Northern Writes. Northern Writes is a cultural education programme which is part of The Forge’s Defiant Voices programme. It is inspired by the pitman poet Tommy Armstrong and funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. Armstrong was a defiant voice, speaking out against poverty and inequality: injustices which still exist in the North East today. Northern Writes aims to use Armstrong’s poetry to inspire a new generation of defiant voices, restoring civic pride to the region.
