RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2017 - Michael - 27 Jan 2017 "OK way /Express as North East or Northern would promote a quality brand with an "Established heritage" ---- Rather not have them back if i'm going to be honest, we had "Northern" in some form and everyone moaned about it... It wasn't the best though. Why do people want to go back to older liverys when it's 2017, maybe the older generation will enjoy the come back of older liveries but no one else will or notice them. They should just stick to one livery and leave it the same for a while... I do agree on buses been on the wrong routes is confusing though but sometimes it can't be helped. RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2017 - RBZ 5459 - 27 Jan 2017 (26 Jan 2017, 4:14 pm)S813 FVK That is a question that has been asked several times before and is also one that has not been answered - probably going to be a case of 'let the marketing team reveal what is happening'. They are to get sub-branding for the 49s of some description. RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2017 - Ds1197 - 27 Jan 2017 Is 5452 out in service today? if so what are the Gateshead departures?

Might of well just branded it fully lol #5455 Prior to entering service; this vehicle has received Go North East's corporate livery with "The 49s" branding.

Does exactly hat it says on the tin I suppose.... RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2017 - Michael - 27 Jan 2017 (27 Jan 2017, 10:19 am)RBZ 5459 Interesting name. Does exactly hat it says on the tin I suppose.... Ye, wonder if they've put a logo of the 49's on the side, like they did when they branded Deptfords "X36/X37" and "Nine" at Percy Main.

Yeah, but they were pretty naff brands which didn't have much customer appeal, branded for the sake of branding them... so hopefully "The 49s" is a little more stylish and doesn't look slapped on last minute.

Ye they were so hopefully "The 49s" is designed better. No doubt a photo will appear soon haha RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2017 - Jamie M - 27 Jan 2017 (27 Jan 2017, 10:56 am)Michael Ye they were so hopefully "The 49s" is designed better.Like any change, no doubt it'll be like marmite too, like! I do like change, but I also get to see what was to had. For example, when 3885-9 came off the X30/1s, I realised how badly they needed the peak time space that the 97 person capacity that the 50-60 person capacity that the omnicities simply don't have. Of course the buses are a similar size and it's just paint at the end of the day, but we'll see 😛 Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2017 - westy3738 - 27 Jan 2017 5455 has been delivered to Riverside depot this morning and has branding for service 49 group. It is rather minimalist and is a big departure from the previous Blaydon Racer brand!

Hoping the Blaydon Racers brand will be put on another service in the future.

Doesn't look too bad I feel. RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2017 - Michael - 27 Jan 2017 (27 Jan 2017, 12:11 pm)Jimmi Wouldn't surprise me if there is more brandings in this style to come, service 18 possibly being one of them? Maybe, would be good to have some sort of route branding on most/all services (with newer/new) although it will cost a lot of money so it seems doubtful but i'm not saying you're wrong Jimmi, you never know.

RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2017 - GX03 - 27 Jan 2017 5448 & 5450 are now at Stanley depot.

RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2017 - Greg in Weardale - 27 Jan 2017 This 49 livery is unoriginal and boring. Another step in the wrong direction .... and is proper branding on the way out? Why not keep Blaydon Racers? Or couldn't they think of a different name or colour, as happened with IndiGo. RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2017 - EL1TE - 27 Jan 2017 A Streetlite is on blaydon racers near the metro centre now if anyone wants a photo (Winlaton bound). |
