Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - June 2017
Maybe its just me, but can anybody see a 'MAX' logo here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/nebp2/35405270365/in/feed
I'm really glad that this is only going to last a couple of years at the most - the new scheme being introduced couldn't come quick enough and, hopefully, they can do a decent job of it.

Just a very quick mock-up of what the livery could have looked like if they didn't ruin it. I've used the correct font for the branding too... and not the cheapo font they use now.

Seems like most of the MAX branded buses have been designed to accommodate advertising boards (Darlington Omnicity's and X93 don't seem to have any though), single deckers only tend to have them on the nearside now owing to the positioning of the emergency exit door on the drivers side, meaning it's normally just a large MAX logo on this side.

(21 Jun 2017, 4:59 pm)mb134 Ashington are due some Enviro 400s for the X21/22 to displace some of the current allocation to the 43/44/45. (See here)
I believe Sapphire is still continuing currently, albeit in the new livery, with the new branding being launched next year.

Someone is going to have a fun time restitching the new logo onto the top of the seats when the new brand is released!

I think something was mentioned somewhere about those Tempos finally coming up from Yorkshire.
1762 has been sold to Alpha for scrap now, just to update you on that one.
