(26 Mar 2017, 1:02 pm)Greg in Weardale And all these tag lines are unnecessary and pretty naff. Route details along the side are OK, although those in the white strip like the Prince Bishops spoil the livery, but the rubbish tag lines should go. And stop covering windows, still perpetuated on the recent 49 and Wear Express buses.

(26 Mar 2017, 6:00 pm)Ryan99 I've heard loads of rumours lately such as 35/36 is getting streetlites , the 61 is getting the eclipses but better of waiting to see what happens

(26 Mar 2017, 12:35 pm)Greg in Weardale Agree See it do it Sunderland is a weak brand name, but at least it's better than the 49 and the unoriginal repetition of indiGo which was bad as a brand let alone being repeated in two other areas which had perfectly acceptable brand names before with local identities.

(26 Mar 2017, 6:38 pm)northern156 It's not really a brand as such? Something created by I imagine the city council to promote Sunderland and gain tourism(!) and trade.
It isn't just on buses also; VTEC's 43274 has the tag/logo on it also. Indeed I'd say the same motive behind decorating up a powercar and promoting a new service to/from the capital.

(26 Mar 2017, 6:45 pm)Michael Na, it's not but it's not that good, could be done better, it'll look better on a different colour, maybe white for example, as the gold is too dominating.
That's on the Citaro's, not the train.
Who want's to come to Sunderland though?, it's a dump, the Bridges is terrible and it's full of road works............. unless they sort the city centre out and Seaburn, we won't get anyone coming.

(26 Mar 2017, 7:06 pm)northern156 No matter what the logo or tagline is like, if the local councils have got GNE to put it on their buses, they will.
I find it hard to believe Sunderland doesn't get any visitors. It's in the local council's best interests to kick start something like that - it boosts the local economy.
Living close by you may not think that but the beaches around Seaburn are bound to attract folk.
The Bridges being terrible is your opinion; to me it is like any other shopping centre - which in itself attracts people.
Think about it. If nobody visited why is there such a plethora of bus services linking it to other large towns and cities?

(26 Mar 2017, 7:55 pm)Ryan99 But however if the eclipses go on the 61 they shouldn't get branded with them being 54 plates so it would be pointless
(26 Mar 2017, 8:21 pm)Rapidsnap What's with your bloody obsession with them Eclipses. They're perfect for the 19, better off leaving them where they are now. The 61 would be better of with Citaros IMO as Deptford already operate a large number of them.
