The biggest depot should receive the same status, don't you think? Especially if all it takes is having two Presidents repainted and not given ads.

Any plans for 5164, its just wondering around all Yellow! Could maybe replace the SPD on Tynedale Links to save a bit of paint. Also noticed that some of the ex-Oxford buses never had there interiors refurbed, any ideas why they wernt, I noticed the Pulse ones arent either, apart from 1 I think.[/align]

(29 Nov 2013, 3:40 pm)Liam 'Venture' branding as applied to Optare Solo SR NL63 YBA - 641Think that looks quite nice actually. Decent job wasn't too keen on brand/logo at first. But it comes across better once applied.
If anyone reports a missing 35a, it was last seen 20 mins ago following an x20 out of Rainton Bridge NIS.
Rather than head down the A690 or down Dairy Lane, it continued through Fencehouses.
Goodness knows where it is going or if it is going to pick up the route somewhere else - possibly at The Beehive/Newbottle.
