(20 Aug 2016, 11:14 am)Michael wrote I have to agree in some way, look at the website for that too, all the info for the Gateshead/North Tyneside changes have been updated - new brands etc, where as the Sunderland changes, which happened a while back still isn't up to date....
X36 still down as "Fast Cats",
Info on the "See it, do It Sunderland" brand has the 36 down as going to Town End Farm.
The 5 still doesn't have a tab for "Whey Aye Five-0"
The 61 doesn't have a Simplicity tab - However Dan mentioned this could because the versa's might not be on long.... (something like that)
If you go on the NEXUS tab, the W1/W1A/W3 still appear, not one of the new contracted services has a timetable on the site yet....
Hopefully this new website will have all the update to date info on brands etc but really it should of been done straight away whether or not they're getting a new website.
I think the reason why the "Cadets" weren't branded as "Black Cats" was because they'll of been withdrawn after a couple of years so they didn't bother.
The "Red Arrows" are taking far to long to be repainted and branded, still 5 left in old Livery, the repainting of these started in November 2015....
Had a quick look through and the new website shows the correct information for most of the things you've raised, but services wholly secured by Nexus still aren't shown on the website (which suggests to me that these haven't been included for a reason!)
Yes; the re-branding of the "Red Arrows" branded vehicles has taken quite some time, but you must remember that Washington are currently running two vehicles short of their normal allocation (5170 was covering for a DAF SB120 which was withdrawn but is now at Stanley, and 8267 has also been withdrawn). Because they are running two single-decks short, they are allocating Volvo B7s to service 82, meaning that they haven't got enough spare double-decks to release Volvo B9s for repaint.
There's a reason why the new brand for service 39 has not yet been revealed, and all will become clear in the upcoming months.
