I literally said yesterday that I would love to see an Optare Solo SR in a Voyager livery
RE: Go North East - Recent Repaints - OrangeArrow49 - 23 Apr 2021
Please excuse my ignorance, what's Voyager?
RE: Go North East - Recent Repaints - V514DFT - 23 Apr 2021
I would of loved to see a solar in Voyager livery,shame theyve all gone now
RE: Go North East - Recent Repaints - Rapidsnap - 23 Apr 2021
Voyager is mainly the private hire side of Go North East, also known as Northern Coaching.

It’s the name people may spot and search for if they need bus/coach hire, ...only to find it’s not actually the company name. So, I’m not sure either....

I presume this is the spare for the Washington minibus network. Won't be surprised if when 715 goes back to Consett Whenever that may be it'll be the H2 bus.

Does anyone know what's currently in for repaint?, The GNE fleet update, normally gives us an update but it hasn't been update since end of March.

Let’s hope these aren’t branded something meaningless for the sake it, like The Little Purples, or The Purple Horns.

Good to hear.
RE: Go North East - Recent Repaints - Rapidsnap - 08 May 2021
654 (653 for even longer) been painted a few weeks now.
Prob call them Little Bishops or Little Lilacs.

Peterlee locals brand doesn’t really do what’s written on the tin , especially when the solos operate in other areas like Seaham/murton and Durham , probably be little purples to compliment the x9/x10 purple branded xlines or service 55 could go the same way as the 4 with branding.
Should of done the solos under the OK Way brand with service 55 under OK Travel brand, as OK had the depot at Peterlee , seems the only brand GNE wants to keep is the old bus company venture brand

We had a similar discussion not too long ago iirc. Is 'Peterlee Locals' not just the holding name for the time being?

RE: Go North East - Recent Repaints - JP6004 - 10 May 2021
I see 8332 & 8333 have been replaced at washington by 5335/5336. Will the versas be repainted before going back to riverside?

Arriva haven't trademarked it, so GNE could use it as they wish.
RE: Go North East - Recent Repaints - streetdeckfan - 17 May 2021
Just saw what looked like one of GNE's solos fresh from repaint driving up the A1 past the Angel on test, it had a red rear and what looked like either a dark grey or black front.
Initially I thought it was a GCT Nexus branded, but it looked like it was ready for a road stripe?

To be fair, it could have easily been pink and dark purple, it was pissing it down when we went past! Although, if Best Impressions had anything to do with it, they'd have just copied and pasted it

I'm certain it wasn't that, it had the brighter colour on the back half, with the darker colour on the front
