The pink looks slightly darker to what was used on the Pink Panther solos: http://northeastbuses.co.uk/forum/showth...p?tid=1529&pid=117327#pid117327

However, i think it looks quite similar to the pink used on the Pink panther MPDs: https://flic.kr/p/6opsa4

I'm not saying that the brand name will be Pink Panthers by the way. I infact don't think it will be - other than being situated in East Durham which is the main joke, it wouldn't be worth it.

Hope it doesn't get branded as pink panther, would like the brand as East Durham Links with the branding of local past present landmarks.

So there be:

North Tyne Links
Tynedale Links
East Durham Links

Was the person in charge of the base colour at the time pissed by any chance. Dodgy

Yeah I'd it's pink too, judging by the photograph displayed. It can vary dependant on light conditions I imagine especially with photos.

Yes; it's very difficult to judge the colour by photographs, as it can vary depending on the make/type of camera.

As we've gotten ever so technical with shades of pink - I think the pink on the Solos is a mix of RAL4006 and RAL4010 (I believe the latter of which was used on Angel/Pink Panther).

I would agree with Dan re.RAL4006 & RAL4010 codings.
These refer to RAL4006 as Purple & RAL4010 as (Tele) Magenta. on the website:

It looks to me that these Solos are fitted with the Euro 6 6 cylinder Cummins ISB Engine , not the typical Mercedes found in other Solos in GNE.
These will for definite be fitted with Allison gearboxes like the other Solos or have GNE moved to Voith transmissions altogether?
