My daughter was on the No 10 heading for Hexham the other day, when a man got as far as Corbridge, started getting agitated wondering why the bus wasn’t heading to Newcastle!

It happens every now and then when I'm driving the 88 - Some people think that 88 is one direction and 88A is the opposite. Also people sometimes get confused around Jarrow since you can catch the bus is both directions from the same stop at Morrison's or at the bottom of the flyover.
Well, you are talking "cabbage patch land."
There's a picture of the updated Venture livery on Flickr somewhere, which I saw earlier - Don't know what to think, it looks strange without the prominent white 'V', which drew the attention to 'Venture' . There is a 'V' towards the back which you can hardly see, at first I thought it was just muck on the bus. And there's a rear advert across the back panel, which is blue - garish.
EDIT - Said pictures......

There is a 'V' towards the back which you can hardly see, at first I thought it was just muck on the bus. And there's a rear advert across the back panel, which is blue - looks completely out of place.

(13 Nov 2017, 9:13 pm)S813 FVK Yes - I had trouble spotting the 'V' at the rear too although I put that down to the lighting not been that great thanks to this horrid time of year. I think they could have thought of another tagline to go above the windows as I think that looks a tad empty but I can't think of anything of a length that wouldn't make it look cluttered.

How come 5274 is branded for the big days out advert but then its covered by other adverts on sides and rear? Spoils it
(13 Nov 2017, 9:17 pm)LeeCalder Something along the lines of what they used to use, such as 'Venture to.......', can't do that is services are going to be changed every 5 minutes though!
