It does help a lot a bit like my pal Anthony he lives on 50 route or yourself the stagecoach routes so all in all Hebburn is a fine spot for photos

Looks good & UnCluttered (compared to previous branding and many GNE brands) Could be a nice template for future brands to develop a semi-corporate style, which Go North East lacks. For Example: Keep the rear swoop on a limited number of base colours (although I would prefer one corporate) but only change name "Centurion" "Diamond" etc... with corresponding symbol replacing the torch seen on Centurion. I would have dropped the "The" and simply branded "Centurion"
Who knows! It could even be adopted for Nexus (or whatever brand they want to use when QCS comes into operation)

Fleet news from the PDF:

4966 Riverside to Hexham
8273 Hexham to Deptford
653 - 666 new vehicles in service at Peterlee
560 619 Peterlee to Hexham
546 Peterlee to Deptford
536 537 538 539 541 545 withdrawn from Peterlee
4842 5161 withdrawn from Deptford
3860 withdrawn from Stanley

Also shows: 542,544,546 at Deptford, as the ones above has to arrive at Deptford.

Amazing, first time iv'e checked it today!

They have 5161 getting withdrawn, is that a mistake as i thought it was still getting used at Deptford for the Durham works?

8273 transferred to Deptford so that might by why?

Could be, thought they might of kept in service until works have finished in Durham though.

Meaning other things can be done... like repaints.....

5161 was in use at Peterlee but 547 has taken its place until the end of the Millburngate roadworks.

5162 still being used on the 20.

It is working - it's just programmed as a flipdot display (wrong switch setting) and as such the LEDs on the rear display are loads of squiggly lines.

5161 did transfer to Deptford when the Solos entered service, but was sent to Saltmeadows by the end of last week.
