(04 Nov 2013, 8:34 pm)citaro5284 I agree. 'The Angel' and 'The Fab56' are the ones I hear the most.
Quote:Has anyone seen The Angel?
Been stood at Harlow Green for 45minutes!
Quote:Where are all the Fab56's? 6 have gone past me in the other direction at Sulgrave village centre and I have been here since 7.02 this morning.
I was due at work 3 hours ago!

I feel that the "Fab" brand is rather tired now.
Anyway, the vehicles will all be delivered in one colour.
If you look at it, every batch of vehicles that GNE have gotten over the last few years have came in the same colour.
Examples:
Citylink / Laser Citaros were delivered all gold.
Silver Arrows / Ten Citaros were all one batch of Silver.
And before anyone pipes up about the Streetlites been different colours, they are classed as 2 different batches due to their length.
The only exceptions are the Solo SRs due to contract reasons.
Mind I predict the Solos will arrive in Yellow if they are keeping the Venture brand.

(04 Nov 2013, 8:18 pm)Dan I'm one to refer to the 56 as "The Fab56". I refer to very few as their brand name, but that one seems to work.
Same as the 21... I always call it "The Angel" - it works for me.
Why would GNE want to scrap something when it works like that?

(04 Nov 2013, 8:53 pm)citaro5284 Am I right in thinking that in previous orders, the number of vehicles purchased matched the PVR of the service the vehicles had been bought for. I may be wrong, but isn't the PVR 15 for the 'Fab56' and 17 have been ordered?

Nothing out the ordinary aside short Angel runs between Birtley (Newcastle Bank) and Durham.
Additional services both ways (unless noted) on 21, X21, 20 (Durham- Houghton only) 15, 44 (Durham - Stanley only)
There was something in the Northern Echo about extra Park n Ride buses and Park n Ride sites.

(04 Nov 2013, 9:58 pm)stagecoachbusdepot Cheers - see it now. It's not mentioned under the 20 blurb and the link under that bit takes you to the normal Prince Bishops page...GNE could make it a bit clearer (I'm sure I'm not the only one who would scroll down to their service rather than notice the link at the top?)!

How about something to do with the Rivers Wear and Tyne...Two Rivers Links...
Just a thought :-
Yellow and white with a thin blue band, and call them 'Tyne & Wear Transport'

I do see what you mean though, as I tend to refer to the 21 as 'The Angel' rather than it's number.
