Actually the B7RLE would be pretty good for the 19 especially since they have a good turn of speed.
(08 Feb 2016, 11:10 pm)GX03 SVC You're seriously going to use the 19 to go and use the 434 and the school service 448 that will leave you nowhere near a GNE route when it finishes in the afternoon?Don't know how he'd use the 448 on a school day, especially when he should be at school. Mind there's always them daft teacher training days for that!
Mad.........

I'd be very sorry to see the wonderfully original Whey Aye Five O brand go.

Why do GNE have vans just for driver changeovers
Wouldnt it not be cheaper to do what stagecoach do and just get cars. Cheaper tax and proberly cheaper insurance.

An easier way to have the 50/5 full omnicity branded would be to get the red ones and paint them into the branding eg 5247 5248 5249 5273 5274 and replace them with the Volvo b7rles

How will the interworking work on the 5 and 50 on evenings and Sundays. They are both hourly routes which in turn provide a 30 minute service between South Shields and Boldon Asda. The 5 is a 1 hour journey end to end so there must be some very long layover times expected.
No, not being sarcastic. The concept of Whey Aye Five O is original and amusing and the livery good (apart from the xxxxxxs).

(09 Feb 2016, 7:48 pm)R852 PRG I'll also miss the Whey Aye Five 0 brand if it is made defunct, as it's such a unique livery with so much effort put into it, in my opinion. It has looked great on both the Solars and the OmniCities, I think it would suit almost any single deck vehicle.

Yeah. It is one of those brands which is really clever. I remember when i first told my dad about it when the brand was introduced, he laughed and i did not have a clue why as it seemed like they had just used a normal geordie phrase and put 'five 0' on the end with no real effort put into it (at that time, i had no knowledge of 'Hawaii Five 0'). Because of how clever it is, it has to be one of the best brands that Go North East have.
In a similar vein, while Pronto isn't a particularly great brand, I'll miss tweeting about the irony of it being late.
