(11 Feb 2020, 8:06 pm)Michael wrote Martijn Gilbert I've driven past this a few times and genuinely can't see that many vehicles fitting in there. I could be way off, of course - but if you look to the right of MG's picture, you can roughly see 'how many cars' depth it is. Add in any administrative space etc and the space will be smaller. Unless the admin space is going above? I'm sure the plans will be available to access online somewhere if you really wanted to check. 'Illegitimis non carborundum'

Quick and easy reply is that this space will hold storage for up to 30 buses - so 18 buses initially (9 this July, 9 the following, then scope for 12 more). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Thanks for that info Dan, glad they've built rom for extra buses. Have a feeling those extra spaces will be filled quick!

However with Dan referring to the actual capacity in the post above, maybe the footprint is larger than it looks. Granted it was dark this evening when I drove past, but it doesn't look like it comes all the way to the road. Ditto, with the vehicles parked up at the top (see the top of your 'square'), it was unclear whether that space was being allocated or not. https://public.gateshead.gov.uk/online-a...ab=summary&keyVal=Q3QETGHK0BP00 'Illegitimis non carborundum'

Looks smart, Kind of looks like a red version of Lothian Country's green arrow leopards. If you aren't sure what the green arrow leopards look like like refer to my photo below. https://flic.kr/p/2iqJfjr |

(12 Feb 2020, 5:46 pm)Michael wrote Very smart! Agreed. It is a big improvement on the 'off-white' that these coaches have ended up carrying. The livery actually suits the coach really well. I don't know how keen I am at another return of the 'Northern' name, but it's good that it is more than a retro logo on the side of the bus this time round, seeing as they've registered a new Northern Coaching company. Some of the comments on Facebook around this are amusing. The general response is very positive, but a handful twisting about the colour of the 'OK' logo, amongst other minor things. Of course, some see OK through rose-tinted glasses, and seem to forget that it was that good of a company, that it no longer exists!

Yes if you go to the website on the back of the coach the commentary seems to suggest that each coach will have their own unique livery.... |

I would argue, that this effort at a livery is by far better than the actual GNE livery.
think the colors work well and would work fantastic along side the new interior design. The colours seem to have a vast contrast compared to Ariva/Stagecoach livery and the retro feel is something thats in fashion at the moment. love it! |

Apparently each of the special events coach will have its own retro livery.
Looking forward to seeing what they come up with.

RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - February 2020
I don't like much, but I really do like the OK livery!
I happen to prefer the black OK over the colour of the original, it stands out a lot more, and does look a lot more modern. I also think the Levantes really suit two-tone style of livery! It's a shame they weren't rolling it out to all the coaches, but it makes sense to have each one dedicated to a brand that's no longer with us |
