I seem to recall that a young chap (called Dan ?) now working for Go North East posting images of some of their new vehicles before Go North East themselves had held a formal launch/unveiling.

It was interesting to note that shortly afterwards the photos disappeared & he went off the radar for a few days. My guess is he probably had his knuckles wrapped by the company for publishing photographs before Go North East themselves had made their own announcements, so you have to be very careful in these situations.

No need to question my name, Mr. S, you were well acquainted with me at one point and I'm fairly sure you wouldn't have forgotten that!

My knuckles were most certainly not rapped, and I chose to stay off all social media (including the likes of Snapchat and Instagram which have no relation to the hobby) for a week or so for personal reasons - had nothing to do with work, and is something I do pretty regularly to be honest... Young chaps like my good self have a habit of obtaining psycho stalkers, you see! 

Do agree that it's up to Stagecoach North East's management to announce the services which are planned to be invested into though - it's commercially sensitive information at the end of the day, especially if it's on a competing service.
