i find it a little bit annoying that SNE neglected to paint at least 1 vehicle for the queens jubilee year especially as most divisions are keeping the vehicles that have been painted for the majority of the jubilee year, but the pride vehicles of which there are three already (please correct me if im wrong)are potentially going to be joined by a couple more according to a driver I know.
apparently 1 or 2 of the beachball liveried E300s are potentially going to get the pride livery when they go for repaint, i would put money on the Carlisle transfers if it does happen. i wonder if they are trying to distance themselves from Sir brians section 28 controversy from the early 2000s.
just a shame they couldn't have joined the other operators in the region and showed some appreciation for HMTQ

(20 Aug 2022, 7:01 pm)Malarkey Would be nice to have a few "Poppy Buses" as well as the ones I have seen down south look really smart, I'd also like to see the new corporate livery with special nods towards the past of Sunderland/Newcastle & South Shields Busways/Economics & Cleveland Transit.yes i see, i wouldn't mind some specials but I just think its a shame as we are unlikely to see another platinum jubilee for a minimum of 80 years (spookily enough) that there wasn't any vehicles done, I know some divisions had there's out in service as early as February if I recall correctly.

(20 Aug 2022, 10:01 pm)Storx Really..? It's hideous that imo, the painted destination display is seriously disturbingly bad (i'm aware it was like that under it's last guise), never mind everything else.i suppose in 2026 as its the 40th anniversary they could do a few "heritage" schemes, potentially using MMCs as they will hopefully have the longest service lives and shouldn't be cascading anywhere soon. i personally would like to see
Up there with one of the worst liveries I've ever seen.
