The downstairs rear isn't too much of an issue to me, the windows are usually higher than the seats so you can't see out of them very well anyway. I don't like the vinyl on the top window though. If I was sat there I would look out of the rear window every now and then, something I wouldn't be able to do here. I am not necessarily part of the #saveourwindows gang but in the instance where the vinyl blocking the window looks out of place, I don't think it should be there.
It was mentioned when the drawing was first published online but I wish they had swapped Peterlee and Dalton Park around, likewise with the Wear Xpress Solo SRs. I was initially ok with them being in that order but then I remembered that I was contradicting myself since I am not a massive fan of Sunderland and Durham being the wrong way round on the Prince Bishops cant rail vinyl.
Compared to the Tyne Tees Xpress, the new livery looks far more superior and eye-catching. I have never really understood why the 'NE' is a different colour to the 'TY' - it is something I have never been a fan of. My opinion of the branding is guaranteed to change from 'it isn't the best' to 'wow that is really good' when I actually see it for myself but there will always be parts that I'd like to see changed.
