Most customers will recognise the bus by its colour, so I think from that perspective, green would work well.

That's true, least then they can order at least 2 more B5TL's for the Angel to replace the B7TL's + a couple of spares for it and then order maybe 2 extra for the X21...

(20 Aug 2014, 5:07 pm)Robert wrote Dont think that would look very nice imo. Think it would need to stay as green unless the brand needs to be completely redesigned to suit pink (baring in mind places will need to be changed anyway as the X21 serves Spennymoor and Bishop Auckland etc).

[attachment=5846]

Doesnt look to bad with that shade. Glad its only 1 tone of pink and not the 2 like the current angel livery as i think, if anywhere that would be where it looks awful.

With this 'Angel express', the buses will only be used on the X21 and X46. The Angel B5s are used on the 21 most of the time meaning that it would be pointless including the route up to Bishop Auckland. Especially as the X21 is technically a different service to the 21.

Except they're blue during the day and green on a night now? Therefore I'm not too sure whether that point would hold water lol...
Definitely needs to be more of a link between Angel and X21 though.

That's the point I'm getting at...

I've made my views clear on interworking branded services so that buses are purposefully appearing off route; whilst I understand why it is done, I still don't think it should be as it causes unnecessary customer confusion.

If the buses are the same colour and of a similar livery design as they are during the day on a night, customer confusion would be reduced. I feel this should be a target for Go North East and other bus operators in general.

I've always said that if a brand needs to interwork for operational reasons - e.g. X35/X36 at all times, or 42/2A/2C on a Sunday, then those services should all be part of the same brand. Thankfully X35/X36 is, but perhaps Silver Arrows should be phased out with the services being merged into the SimpliCity brand?

Would also be a wise move to divert away from the A1 if possible, yes.

Was stuck on an X24 the other day which racked up a 20-minute delay...

I wonder how the Cobalt Clipper upgrade has went not in terms of numbers but reliability and VOR's. Judging by FB, there's been no comments made so far with regards to reliability. I know it should be more reliable than previously with the 309 getting 8 minutes between the Cemetery and Whitley Bay towards Newcastle Mon to Sat and also the journey on both 309 and 310 from 16:40 onwards from Newcastle getting 21 mins to Station Road from Haymarket until the peak calms back down a bit.

I think that week is the school holidays, it doesn't usually require a timetable change on VOSA for school holidays so it must be a change of some sort.

Also it doesn't say the route is changing so I doubt it will be a diversion from the A1 unless they have a route to avoid the A1 during roadworks and incidents although after the works on the A1 last summer this is unlikely.

Could be added extra running time to combat the delays, after the major problems the X22 encountered last summer I don't think they want to repeat this especially as it now interworks with service 14.

It's a good idea changing them, wonder if they will increase/descrease in frequancy to, just changes to timetable.
