North Tyneside Council certainly regard it as a coastal town, as part of their coastal walks - by the way, it's a lovely walk I might add down on a joyous day like today. Cracked open my Collins dictionary and the actual definition of the word 'Coastal' is to be positioned on or near the coast. North Shields' boundaries on a map are near enough the coast for it to be classed as coastal man....
I'm sure the residents of North Shields won't start picketing, they might be even be joyful that their pink inDigo buses have been splashed with some lovely colours.....
Agree!

The 1 and 1A won't have all the required announcements currently. Just interested, the 11 didn't have NSAs so they are not vital. Is the Little Coasters 11 going to get NSAs? Shouldn't it be Little Coaster? A bus can't be a Little Coasters! It's one bus.
Are the Cobalt & Coast NSAs going to have the Cobalt Clipper brand removed?
They'll be disabled in the short-term, but longer-term will have the announcements re-enabled for the Coaster 1, 1A and 1B. I think the announcements on the refurbished Volvo B9 have been disabled on the 309/310 already, so shouldn't show the Cobalt Clipper brand name anymore.
The Little Coasters won't have Next Stop Announcements anymore (as the Solos which have the announcements are being moved across to different routes).
