I would hope so, last years was terrible with just the logo.

I doubt they will want them to look identical to the new Tynedale Links brand too. Just have to wait and see, i guess.

I can understand why GNE kept the MPDs in yellow base livery (to allow flexibility?) at a time when the viability of the route was in doubt.

I would expect more 'extravagant' branding than last year.

Do GNE have any Enviro 200s?

The Optare SR may well be a better replacement where a small vehicle is called for.

Wright seem to be the preferred body-builder.

It makes sense to stick with what you know, and Go North East must have a pretty good relationship with Optare given that three vehicles are presently on loan from them.
