The destination board just stated 
12 City Centre In a unusual type format. Bus 28008 gas bus. Think services on Teesside are using this. Question is why? Are stagecoach copying go north east

They aren't copying Go North East - the style Stagecoach is using is the same as that used by the Cumbria and North Lancashire division.

Been in use for a while in the Teesside/Hartlepool list - only initially on certain destinations (12 to Hemlington and Parkway Centre, 13 Middlesbrough and 1 Hartlepool Centre), it appears to have been rolled out properly to all services this week (noticed a 59 showing Stockton Castlegate Centre in the style on Tuesday morning and a 58 Hardwick last night).
