New Go North East Pride Bus - Train8261 - 28 Feb 2022

Go North East Pride news today confirming a new Pride branded bus in time for Sunderland Pride 

Since then, Go North East has introduced more Pride-branded buses to its fleet, not only to visit Pride celebrations in the region with, but to show the company’s support for the LGBTQ+ community year-round; Go North East’s Pride branded buses can often be seen serving customers in many communities across the North East.

Go North East will once again support Pride events this year, with events taking place in Durham, Newcastle and Sunderland. To show its ongoing commitment Go North East plans to rebrand a bus using the Progress Flag to attend Sunderland Pride and serve communities in and around Sunderland too.

The Progress Flag is a development of the well-known Rainbow Flag – a symbol of the LGBTQ+ community – and incorporates light blue, pink and white to represent the trans, non-binary and intersex communities, and black and brown to show support for marginalised LGBTQ+ communities of colour.

5369 or 5376 would be the perfect choice for one.

A Prince Bishops StreetLite might be a good choice, there seems to be loads running around everywhere/anywhere. There was one approaching Dalton Park today could have been on the 61,62 or 65. Since the frequency drop on the 20 just how many Branded purple Streetlites are spare on a daily basis?

i think they have lost 8, when it went from 10 to 12 it lost 4, 12 to 15 it lost 4. 

There are 4 branded ones which are 'spare'. GNE might aswell turn around and say these are permanent with the X1 one aswell.

If the X1 is increasing then maybe the 20 will.

If the 20 is going back upto every 12 mins.

5369/76 should be painted. Perhaps 6303.

You could do events next to the Statue at Seaham, idk the name. 

Tbh it could the dedicated spare for the 60 & 20, showing it off from Sunderland to Durham to Seaham to South Shields. 

I think one of the Washington 16' Streetdecks should get painted aswell. It would be nice to see one at every depot. Maybe 656 aswell from peterlee

Versa, Streetlite 11.5M or 10.9M would work well
