RE: Go North East - Latest - Michael - 24 Oct 2013

Does anyone know if i can go to Dalton Park with my Network one pass (all zones)?


RE: Go North East - Latest - Dan - 24 Oct 2013

The first two Streetlites for Saltwell Park 53/54 have arrived. These are said to be in a mint green base livery, and the vinyls will also differ to the ones currently used.
They are registered as follows:
- NL63 XBM
- NL63 XBH

I believe Liam has a photo to share shortly.
Another #nebexclusive for you all! Wink

I've been told it looks quite good on paper. Not as big a change as the Drifter livery, that's for sure.

Not to my knowledge.

For anyone wanting photos of recently repainted 4966, it is on Loop duties today.

Dalton Park is in County Durham, so its outside of Tyne and Wear, you can use the network one pass only to the Tyne and Wear boundry

Hmm... I was just thinking how nice and fresh the colour looked! As long as it encourages bus usage I suppose...

I suspect it'll look a lot worse once they've branded it...

Looks like someone has od'd on mushy peas and puked and crapped on it


RE: Go North East - Latest - Michael - 24 Oct 2013

(24 Oct 2013, 10:40 am)Liam I wouldn't suggest its a bad colour, it just lacks any impact. With a strong design, I'm sure it will become far more appealing.

Hppefully

I'm in agreement with that Liam, I think the reason it lacks impact is because GNE have opted to go for bit around the lights to be the same colour as the bodywork, rather than having them in black for example.

Then look back at the Streetlites GNE have just received, The black around the front/rear lights makes it look so much more effective in my opinion.


RE: Go North East - Latest - CitaroFavourite - 24 Oct 2013

That streetlight looks a bit bright oh oh I gotta say this "Hey Who Turned On The Lights" got that from a Doctor Who episode Silence In The Library / Forest Of The Dead anyways back to subject I wonder what the livery will look like once it's Vinals have been applied can anyone name the worse branding am gonna say a few Soccer Bus, the pink Angel, Red Angel, The Nine, Crusader (Renowns),
