(23 Jul 2021, 3:32 pm)streetdeckfan There seems to be a lot of inconsistencies between all these new liveries that are based on the 'road stripe' concept.
The placement of the road stripe seems to vary depending on what day of the week it is, the Loop seems to have it pushed all the way to be back, and maybe tilted back further, whilst both of the 'Rider's have it further forward. The Durham Diamond seems to be this way as well. Whilst the Crusader and Cobalts have it much further forward
The Loop, Riders, Crusader, and Cobalts have the black bar down the side with the destinations, the Durham Diamond doesn't.
The Loop, East Gateshead Rider and Cobalts have the branding above the windows, but the CityRider and Durham Diamond have it below.
I thought this whole 'Road Stripe' concept was supposed to bring some continuity in the fleet.
It seems as though they were all designed by different people following the same brief but without having seen the previous designs.
Surely the road stripes does give continuity to the fleet - I doubt a member of the public will go out with a set square and a protractor to measure the angle of the lines.
I think you are looking too in depth at it if I am honest
