RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - July 2015
I think the Trent Barton comparisons are quite strange, because although the names are the same, that is really the only comparison. My auntie and uncle live in Tutbury, which is a small village which "The Villager" V1 goes through and that brand is excellent. However, the links to Red Arrows, Black Cats, Pronto are not that strong. As the brands are not that similar.

Not 100% certain but stagecoach and trent barton share the pronto route, thats why both companies have the same livery. I'd like to see the villager brand used on the 13/14/X25 if they could be interworked.

If we were getting really really really REALLY desperate for comparisons between the two, we could get to the fact that they use the same system for the route numbers for the Villager (as you mentioned) and Venture with the V1, V2 etc... No north east customer will complain to the company that the brand is similar to another company and then request a change. A bus to them is a bus. I personally don't have a problem with it but i do tend to notice it just to generate a bit of discussion i guess. |

Branding Future
From April 2017 There will be One brand only in Tyne & Wear and services from County Durham / Northumberland servicing Tyne & Wear from a suggested Choice of 3 brand liveries: Which do you prefer? http://www.nexus.org.uk/sites/default/fi...ples_0.pdf Option C looks the best of the bunch, but I guess if cost is a factor, the simpler Option A, is more likely. List of services which will be included: (Note the number of GNE branded routes which will come under the Nexus/(NECA ?) branding) http://www.nexus.org.uk/sites/default/fi...uded_0.pdf |
