Black Cats and Fab 56 just both look rubbish.
Cobalt and Coast, imagine getting a bus branded that which doesn't go to Cobalt or the Coast...?
Little Coaster, most irrelvant bus route for the 19 and 42 considering they're the only bus in most the places they serve that doesn't go to the coast - confusing...
Indigo exists in two different places (which defeats the point of a brand imo - some may disagree).
Back on topic, the ex London deckers have curved windows like Arriva so can't be one of them whereas it's clearly a square window - there's words for them but I've forgot them.
I agree with you there about some of the routes being crap. I've always hated the Red Kite brand so I'm glad that's going away (It's those eyes!)
I genuinely like the Little Coasters branding, it looks pretty good on the solos. It'd be nice if it saw more use.
GNE's use bonded windows whereas the ex london ones are gasket windows (I think that's the correct terminology)

(And with the green Coast & Country Streetlites). On the thinking that it's only been publicly said that they'll transfer to a service in Newcastle.
That would work... although does the 6 really need an upgrade to deckers, other than peak times?
