Didn't realise that they would be branding the 'Tyne Valley Ten's straight away:

If it ain't broke - don't fix it.

Certainly isn't cheap mind - think it will be a contender for the opposite, given the large amount of vinyl.
Compared to the current TEN, this one actually does a much better job of promoting the 10 service and what the service is all about. One of the better designs we've seen recently, in my opinion. Let's hope it doesn't get mistaken for the Cross Pennine brand, which looks fairly similar, from the perspective of the average punter.
The previous TEN screamed cheap, on the other hand, and not too sure what a bus with a pick'n'mix of different shades of silver does to promote the '10' group of services.

(12 Jul 2017, 4:49 pm)RBZ 5459 Another cheap and cheerful effort. Left over flags from when 3964 was green almost..! Still a few more vinyls on the windows and staircase to go it looks like.

(12 Jul 2017, 6:03 pm)Adrian If the new TEN was my brand, I would hope it wouldn't get mistaken for the Cross Pennine monstrosity either! Not exactly one of the designer's finest pieces.
In all seriousness though, I'd say it was one of the better brands as of late too. Looks nice and fresh, and it manages to achieve that without stickers all over the windows.

(12 Jul 2017, 6:27 pm)Andreos1 I've just noticed the Green Hybrid on the ramps in Bazza's photo.
One of the missing Hybrids?

The USP of the TEN was its text name rather than a simple numerical 10.
How many other brands (of any operator) are identified by a (simple) text name? - this was brilliant marketing IMO.
In addition the livery was unique rather than appearing to be just a single-coloured bus (the bold (wine) band between the windows added distinction.
