Would suite Tynedale Links as it's yellow and blue. Be interesting to see what service it goes on to.

Another brand in the "special" wavey instead of stripey style.  I guess makes the X66 a likely shout as its "special" in just being a very short express?  Though then I never really understood what made the Q3 particularly special either (though the Quaycity is a very smart looking livery)

Could even be for service 19 the main colour is blue. They are too old to be on such a frontline service like X66.

citaros had a full refurb a couple of years ago and still look fresh. I don't know if the B7's have. probably not.

(15 Jul 2021, 10:48 am)cbma06 Should of painted the front half in SDO colour and if it had to be branded then there could of had blue berries

I disagree on that front. It's something that is more for enthusiasts than your average punter, especially those that you're trying to encourage to switch from car to public transport. There's enough looking back in the industry already Smile

Deptford stripped 658 of logos but it never got the call to Saltmeadows.

Think the CAZ repaints have shunted them back a bit..

The solo’s at consett are under the venture brand and in the original old bus company colours, there’s still a high percentage of car users who won’t switch to buses, the bus companies need to put more money in to have more of a better network , car users can go to A to B , but by bus to travel from A to B you have to go through the alphabet to get there

(15 Jul 2021, 1:13 pm)cbma06 Better interworking network for me across the board, taking into account the TW metro. I understand these companies need to make a profit for shareholders, and its ran to work that way. Theres no denying the investment in the industry, and what GNE have done over the years, vehicle wise they have vastly improved their fleet.

I stopped using buses when the Stanley changes came in a few years ago, that pushed me into learning to drive, because the interworking was horrendous

I think that's a bit disingenuous.

You can get to basically anywhere important with only one change, somewhere a bit more obscure or further away will require two changes, maybe three if it's particularly remote.

The real issue with public transport is the time, going direct by car is pretty much always going to beat the bus

Wish they update the official fleetlist, it has been 2 and a half months since the last one. It's hard enough trying to keep my own records up to date.
