(02 Jun 2021, 9:54 pm)transportintyneandwear Was at Saltmeadows today and saw a Gemini 2 being painted, looks like the usual 2019 GNE livery, you know the two colors separated by the 2 wierd lines, but it was light blue at the front and dark blue at the back. Does anyone know what this is? Didnt get fleet no or a video/pic.

(02 Jun 2021, 10:01 pm)streetdeckfan I'm guessing that's the Coaster B5?

(02 Jun 2021, 10:04 pm)transportintyneandwear Maybe a new Coaster livery? Does need a refresh, as the current one has been around for ages, was the same when it was on the Omnicities.

(03 Jun 2021, 10:17 am)Micheal Aaron Hopefully it is a new version of the coaster. Tbh they need a name change as well. That name has been round since they were like this

Then they have had the blue ever since the Scania CN230UB OmniCity and same name

It would be nice to see a name change and possibly the new type of seats and changing ports

(03 Jun 2021, 10:21 am)streetdeckfan I think it's highly unlikely that they'll change the name, if they do they'll have to change Little Coasters as well!

Plus the last passengers want is yet more chopping and changing. It seems these days brands and liveries are changing every 5 minutes.

(06 Jun 2021, 9:09 pm)Micheal Aaron Think mainly as if I'm right. It's Go North East longest survive brand name. Its been coaster since the old basze colours and it's been blue since the single deck version. I could be wrong it's gne longest surving name

It's not that I want it to happen. It would be nice. But obviously there still busy. There current doing what 3 brands at once. 58 deckers. 93/94 Deckers and whatever them solos are

(06 Jun 2021, 9:23 pm)JP6004 Loop been around since 2005/2006 in corporate before being repainted black in 2007. Think first angel was 2007ish. Coaster I believe only existed since changing from the 301 to the 1

(06 Jun 2021, 10:10 pm)GNE6312 So the Angel is the longest GNE brand even though it went from pink to red to green, doubt they'll change the livery now as its iconic even if I don't like the 21

(06 Jun 2021, 9:18 pm)logidoodah They'll probably be Little Black Cats or Black Kittens or something??!!!
