I thought the whole idea of the Northern red buses was to provide cover if a branded bus was unavailable. The buses in question are the old TTX stock 3941-3 and 3962-5 surely these buses would be better used on the services the require double deck upgrades running older buses than 05 plates ie Pronto. Get the Presidents into red like the rest.
Also is it just me or are the new Red Gemini's a different shade of red to the house branded ones.

Tend to dimiss these servies somewhat but they do an important job linking the centres of Newcastle & Gateshead to important arts, education, government and residential locations
