North East Buses

I hope SNE decide to convert some of the redundant MANs into training buses to upgrade the training fleet, like several other areas are starting to do.

Is the X34 being rebranded? becasue the brand more more more with your X34 will be redundant at the end of the month.

Ive got a feeling it could be inline for a rebrand soon, To tie it in with the X24, Which for half of the route runs alongside the X34.

Never heard anything about the " More more more with your X34 " being dropped soon though, Correct me if I'm wrong.

Nothing been said about stagecoach dropping that brand but the brand was brought in because of the 20 minutes frequency so I personally and a few of my friends think the tagline will be made redundant when the X34 goes back to every 30 minutes

I'm off to work soon, so won't get a chance to see it, might have a pop down Wheatsheaf when i can, might be parked up.

I passed late last night and one was parked round the gas bus refuelling lane.

Should paint the gas buses in stagecoach gold livery.

Looks smart, the 2 tone blue works together quite well. (well from what i can see on the photo).

They have done a really good job of that, certainly appeals to me which is what branding should do.

Looks really good, it's a proper branding.

A good overall brand, But it looks a bit cluttered around the rear in my opinion.

Really like that branding. Colour scheme works together and suits the Omnilink well. The Express message is clear and effective. Only slight criticism is maybe the pricing should be more towards the front of the bus such as below the Sunderland- Newcastle lettering as the lower pricing is important to attract passengers to a new service over competition so should be as clear as possible. Maybe when I see it in real life though it will stand out enough. Overall much better than I thought it would be.

Are they going to be allocated to a certain service(s) or just put on anything?

Likely to be allocated to the 10/11. Of course, wouldn't be at all surprised to see them turn up anywhere.
