Remember pink solos years ago... wasn't that called the pink panther!
yea, the pink panthers solos were on the D4 Arnison centre to Durham duplicating Arriva service 64, due to GNE purchasing Northumbria Coaches inheriting the depot, buses and services. GNE started to run bargain buses between Northumberland area to Newcastle offering cheaper fares etc..., Arriva fought back with running a service 153 and (154?) in front of GNE 53/54, GNE started the D4 in front of Arriva 64, and also GNE started to run service 30 between Sunderland and Hartlepool, but before it all got out of hand Arriva and GNE came up to an agreement with GNE inheriting Arriva services in Hexham and services except the 685 with Arriva taking over the GNE depot in Northumberland and the services in Northumberland.
