Wonder if one the 16 plate streetdecks will gain the night angel branding



I would guess they now wouldn't repaint a bus into a previously designed livery, as eventually it'd need repainted again into the new 'road-stripe' design, (is that what we're calling it?).
I'm not as knowledgable of fleet numbers and PVR numbers as you guys. Are you saying some of the Castles Express Streetdecks will need to be painted into Angel colours to make up for the loss of 6223 & 6333 - or were they just 'spares' anyway? If two do need to be changed to Angel colours will we see the new Angel road-stripe design?


Thinking aloud here... if we imagine the new Cobalt & Coast livery/branding, but in Angel green, there's no graphics or drawings any more, so what do you do to then make it a 'night version', apart from change the green to black - then it just looks like an oddity, like its covering from another route.
Hmmm, I wonder what they'll do.


Out of all their routes the Angel is probably the one route that would benefit from keeping graphics, as the Angel silhouette is instantly recognisable to someone wanting to visit the Angel of the North.
Only time will tell.
