Neither was the blue Go Moquette that arrived in 2005....Tongue

That's besides the point! To be fair, they have had a different interior style on every new bus/refurb for the past few years, so I'm not surprised
RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - September 2019
Over time the interior will 'become' GNE, regardless of whether it is used at EY too.

These new buses are the first to carry the revised interior - of course they are going to look abnormal.

To me there seems to be a higher proportion of black compared to others. Especially at the front.
At least without getting the tape measure out!

And front of bus, which is black, which works well with the green as sometimes colours don't match......
Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

You often get your tape measure out... Tongue

Yes does look smart at the front. No doubt first of many.....dont think would suit all black like the loop. Would look good in diamond livery

Nah, the laser measure is easier. I've cut myself far too many times with the tape measure

Hopefully, I've never been a fan of The Loop, plus I really dislike black buses and cars

Citaros always look smart though!

The B9s look particularly atrocious in black!

RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - September 2019

For midweek matches @ St James Park, what will get allocated to the 6 / X30 boards? Will it be deckers with the low bridge diversion route or will the X30 run as a duplicate?

6303 is back in service with the Contactless accepted advertising removed from the front of the vehicle.

Does anybody know why 704 and 705 have yet to be repainted and instead they've moved onto 631 and 627??

It looks rather smart in person, it doesn't look 'too red' when you actually see it.
I wonder why they removed the contactless vinyl, unless they're adding a full vinyl around the screen

That contactless vinyl was pretty ugo to be fair so glad it's gone - it's not part of the corporate brand application. I notice it's got the older Go North East logo on the side though, hopefully that detail is changed at some point.

You know what, I never even noticed that, but now you've mentioned it, it sticks right out! They must have had some of the old logos laying around and just wanted to use them up

Admittedly, it was pointed out on a Facebook group - just need a Stanley knife and a ruler!

New timetable for 6/6A and X30/X31 online. Both timetables show corporate omnicity. Seems like Toonlink will be dropped completely?

I've never been a fan of Toonlink, it's always sounded cringy to me
