HMB was 1997:

Could have sworn it was a Redby.
Either way, knew it had been covered in a Nordstrom wrap.
(19 Mar 2015, 12:33 pm)leestransportphotos wrote Can anyone remember the old 'Gateshead Quays' livery on I think it was only a couple of MPD's
(19 Mar 2015, 1:00 pm)Adam wrote Yeah I do My grandparents used to take me and my cousins down for a walk along the Quayside just after the Baltic was transformed & the Millennium Bridge was erected.
As for the bus, I remember it was the number 60 (before the Quaylink came along). I think the fleet number of the bus was 515, but I may be wrong.

(19 Mar 2015, 12:56 pm)roar wrote Wear Buses Renault S56,291 if my memory is correct, remember the cab door looking like a house front door, dont think it was a full wrap though.
Redby had a marshall bodied Volvo B6, L83CNY again by memory. This was for a PVC window company, not a full wrap though. They also had the Durham Cricket Club Lynx around the same time, but again not a full wrap.

Driver mate of mine told me new buses were coming to Peterlee, solos according to my man, I just take it with a pinch of salt to be honest and wait and see what happens
(31 Mar 2015, 9:46 am)Michael wrote Never know, least then the 238 might have branded buses again also think the 38 will get some if that happens... have to remember that NEXUS are changing the 79/79A to 238/239... they'll probs need more buses to fit the euro engine thing.
We only know about the Streetlites, Nothing has being said about other buses.
