With that in mind, do you think it'd be wise to waste money by applying 'Northern' vinyls to buses which are to be refreshed very soon? Go North East are a business, remember.
The centenary celebrations are coming to an end, and this should see the arrival of the Go North East name to all buses. Four weeks is more than enough time for the vinyls to be ordered and delivered, so the Versas should be branded up as soon as possible.
I never said they should be applying the 'Northern' vinyls, of course that would be a waste of money. But just suggested if they have had the vinyls delivered they may as well get them stuck on - linking with no actual significance to the process beginning at the end of the centenary year (just delivery of the vinyls).
