I wouldn't really say lazy. Generic? Yeah, and wasn't it said at the time the E10s were launched that the Voltra name would go to most, or all, services with electric buses?

I initially thought that but then why didn’t they drop the ‘Q’ in preparation instead and have the route as 3A and 3B.
It's litral the 53/53 currently with the stripes in the colours in the same place & the black round the windows. Exactly the same as 53/54 were when they came up here

Has someone just been trolling us the whole time and has just put a green voltra through photoshop or a colour changing website.
Coming soon..... Voltra 3 (See Attachment)

tbf they could be for the 57/58 or something else for all we know. The brands are very different, it's not as if they've used the same colours before on things. Massive assumption they're going on the Q3 imo especially the amount money they've spent on the Q3 and it's not exactly the busiest route in the world and it's operated by the wrong depot who would have little work without it. In comparison there's the 57 and 58 which are literally running around with tat the second which used to be a very busy route.
Not saying I wouldn't be surprised if it was the Q3 either mind.
Could of called the QA/QB as the 55/55A , as that number will be available soon, then you have the 53/54/55 under the same Brand

What, and just randomly renumber every route as they eventually become electric?

Exactly this.
Whilst they could very well be for the Q3, they could equally be for anything. Painting vehicles and then reallocating them or withdrawing them a short while later isn't exactly new ground for GNE currently.

Have you even seen Arriva's 22/23/24 branding before? They can't even make the route map accurate. If
that's not "lazy branding" then I don't know what is.
Calling the Voltra branding "lazy" is like calling a one bedroom flat in London "a bargain".

I think thats only like that because it was one of the first brands (correct me if i'm wrong) to be branded using the fleet livery style so maybes the reason why it has turned out different to how more modern Volvo B9TL's like the Red Kite Ranger or Tyne Valley 10 look
or whoever designed it

The Tyne Valley Ten is much worse than Cobalt and Coast imo. There's so many branding errors with it. Chopped up stock images, the logo which is just aligned wrong, 'into Metrocentre'.
Horrid livery, who attempted to copy the best impression ones. The old one it replaced was 10x better.
Little 'replacetheword' / Peterlee Purples / Venture are the laziest ones imo in particular Coaster which just looked crap at the same time.

The Coaster Livery is just awful.

Ah I meant Little Coaster there
All designs after Cobalt & Coast were just a copy and past job. What did u change. The name and that was it. Nothing much else. Coaster has nothing on the side bar the name
It will be interesting to see if GNE do a lot of advertising for the new Voltra brand like they did with the previous.
