Should note too that I received a leaflet through the door for the Connections 4, and I don't even live that close to the route. Credit where credit is due. It's been a good effort by GNE getting the word out on this one.
I still wish there was a "like" button on this page !!!

The lab coat is a massive step up from the £1 shop outfits (and thats being generous) that launched the Angel

I can't remember that one, which says a lot given I use the 21 3 or 4 times a day. I did like the key card launch one with the flash mobs though.

Haha yeah. An old bloke shouted at them to turn it off on one video. I think they said at the time that everyone dancing worked for GNE.

Got a link to the video where the old bloke shouts at them?

As a result of the new Mercs on service 4, Solars 4956-66 have moved around a little...
Solars 4956-60 have transferred to Chester for services 28/28A. The DAFs previously used have now been withdrawn.
Solars 4961-63 remain at Washington. Renowns 4912/13 have transferred to Stanley, whilst SPD 8216 has transferred to Chester to act as 4866's replacement.
Solars 4964/65 have transferred to Deptford. Renown 4914 has transferred to Stanley as a result.
Solar 4966 should have transferred to Gateshead.

They're not. Getting branded today.
There is a SPD on 28s/34s today, no DAFs or Solars.
