Could’ve been a bit bigger but nice it features nonetheless. Also, do you think it’s been included purely because it’s short-route destination so there was room for it? 

GNE only seem to include ‘M’ symbols on their Metro replacement buses - only if it’s a Streetdeck with double height destination screens:  https://flic.kr/p/2mPELpY

I always think the likes of GNE’s route 1 should have a ‘M’ symbol on their destination screens to indicate where in Gateshead it actually terminates. If there’s no room then maybe add ‘Int.’ for interchange.
‘Gateshead’ is rather vague.

I'm sure there was a falling out at one point (to do with the Washington - Heworth M services if I remember right) and in one fell swoop, GNE got rid of the liveries promoting connections at Heworth, renumbered the M1, M2 etc. And removed the Metro M logo from their blinds.

Might be remembering wrong mind.
