'Visit Hexham' have a bluey-purple colour-scheme, so I guess it makes sense to tie a two-tone base livery in with this?

I don't think that will be the brand name, but there's certainly no harm in providing links to other campaigns such as 'Visit Hexham'. In this instance, a colourscheme (using blue with the already-established yellow base livery).
May be worth saying that only half of 4899s door side advert is in the advert holder. Something to be passed on to the depot.

Either 5170 or 5171 is the same.
Hi Everyone and Happy New Year!
Are all of Hexham's MPD's being repainted?
If Hexham are getting new Solos in the Spring, are they also keeping the MPDs if they are currently being re-painted and having their branding updated ?
I think a jazz up of the existing livery is a good thing.

Hexham are getting 5 Solo's pretty soon and the remaining MPD's that will be stationed at Hexham will be repainted and branded the same as the new vehicles.

Thanks for the update.
Here was me thinking that Hexham were getting a full allocation of Solo's to replace all their MPD's. I must admit however that I do like the MPD, I think they still look a smart bus, especially now since they are getting re-painted.
If they are going to have a mix of Solos and MPD's will each vehicle type be kept to certain routes, eg: Service 74 would always be a MPD, where as Service 682 would always be a Solo or will they be used as a mixed fleet on all of the current Tynedale Links routes.
Looking forward to seeing the new Livery and the new Solos too.

I think buses look better in their base livery.

To me, i think it depends on the type of bus.
I think the Gas buses would look really good in the Stagecoach Livery.

See, i don't think they would. The gas pod thing would spoil it for me unfortunately. Mind, I think they need something else putting on them as opposed to 'Check out our new ride - it's a gas!' given that they aren't new anymore.

Ye, not sure what they could put though, they could use something like: providing links around Sunderland..... The Gas pod could stay blue.
I do like the gas livery though....
