Not impressed with the quality - I'll try again on Monday (or tomorrow evening if I'm free)

(24 Oct 2017, 10:34 am)Greg_in_Weardale wrote Nothing wrong with the "Angel" brand; but assuming new vehicles are coming there must be enough to ensure that the PVR is covered by branded buses, plus at least one branded spare, as there should be at least one on each major branded route - out of 15 or so buses it'll be almost impossible to have 15 on the road at one time. Too many vehicles are getting the red & blue. I'm a strong believer in branding - and there's nothing wrong with area liveries like "Black Cats" and "Venture" ...... as long as nothing much obscures the view from the windows! [emoji3] Although "Indigo" and "The 49" are meaningless poor brands and I cannot understand why "Tyne Tees Xpress" was dropped.

I thought they we're keeping it until 209/210 for the time-being?

(26 Oct 2017, 8:43 am)peter wrote Aren't there four "baby" Solos? Or is this is in reference to the three that currently aren't at Stanley.
I imagine 618 and 619 will move to Riverside for the ASDA Shuttle and the 13 allowing 709 to move to Stanley and 559 to move to Peterlee displacing 707 or 708 so that there is a spare vehicle suitable for the 168 contract.
