Why did it transfer to Ashington in March? I don't recall this being noted on the allocation sheets, that's all.

I'll check that out for you, I've moved away from Ashington but I'll pop down to ask sometime this week.

So where are 1651/3/4/5?!

I'm told 1653 was last seen dumped at Thorntons.

1737 is not at Redcar - that went to Thorntons.

Seamless. You'd never know any changes had been made Big Grin
Why can't they just 1 version of the MAX livery for all services, rather than the countless variations that they have.

Hopefully the new liveries being rolled out in the jext few years can tidy the fleet up a bit and bring about some consistency.

This is what they don't get, this variation of the livery looks totally pants. 

North East have stopped using the standard Arriva fonts for their liveries, and have also stopped using Best Impressions and Cogent for their promotional material. 

The new livery has already had various modifications made to it, whether it be where "a DB company" is placed or the graphics for the on-board features... They can't leave things alone.
