Uniform - Unber43 - 01 Oct 2022
I noticed today that GNE have new Ties and Eqaulettes (if thats how you spell it).
They are Red and White afaik, not all drivers had them, but most of them did.

Like the new red seat moquette? I’ve thought for a while that’d look smarter than the old blue ties.

I don't know, I don't exactly hate them, but I don't think I love them either I think the white shirt washes out the tie.

I noticed loads of red coats when walking around Park Lane the other night. Definitely an improvement in terms of visibility and brightening the uniform up.

They are also getting Polo shirts in the new uniform issue shortly

Sounds like they're working for Butlins, not GNE. Imagine if they had yellow coats.

Even the 2 times I've used arrival I'm sure i got a smile off the bother.. unless it was wind

One is a gold tie. And the other is a red tie. The difference is the colour.

GNE Drivers are getting new polos, at least at Depford.
RE: Uniform - Retro Nero - 10 Feb 2023
They've had them since the November issue last year

By "polos" I thought you meant Volkswagen Polos at first, for some reason.
