Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - February 2020

(05 Feb 2020, 12:07 am)Jimmi wrote I have been wondering about the swoop on the 49 lites, just had a look on Flickr and they seem to be in the same place as the corporate liveried examples... 5401 however, the swoop is ever so slightly further towards the rear.

I have noticed some of those 49 Lites are not looking the best, think one has it's swoop coming away (may be confusing it for something else). Can't see them being repainted until at least all the other more pressing repaints like Blaydon Racer Citaros get done.

I don't know if it's just because I'm used to seeing 'The 49' there and now it's gone the blue space just seems so much larger (I'm guessing that's probably what it is)
They aren't in 'bad shape' by any means, so I'd guess if they were going to repaint (which MG has said is not planned), they'd just be done as and when they need it. 

I know The 49 was a pathetic excuse for a brand, but it was actually pretty nice to be able to see from quite a distance that it was indeed a 49!

Also, I know I said I wouldn't bring up NSAs and some think I'm a bit negative, but honestly I'm past caring about what other people think, so what I've noticed recently that really irritates me is services being referred to as 'your x service' rather than 'the x service'. It's a small thing, but I just don't like it.
Is it supposed to make it feel more personal?
