Wonder why they didn't follow the likes of 'Cobalt and Coast' and 'Coast and Country' and go with 'City and Quay' if they insist on having both City and Quay in the name.
Then again, there was absolutely nowt wrong with Quaylink, if anything I think it's one of the better brand names, and still suits the route well as it links to the Quayside.
I can't stand it tbf. No idea why they would change an established brand and network, for the sake of 4 letters.
Even if the Q3 wore a slightly different colour scheme to the Q1 and Q2, the consistency was there within the brand it shared.
It linked the quayside with parts of Newcastle and North Tyneside, just like the Q1 and Q2 links the quayside with parts of Newcastle and Gateshead.
It did what it said on the tin.
Not sure what it's trying to say with this new name at all.
