I suppose the only real giveaway to a layperson would be the different NSA displays.
I presume the exterior design will be identical to the StreetDecks
Apart from the B5s being massive.

For someone who isn't used to GNE (we're mostly Arriva). GNE buses always feel cold / wet especially on a winters day and the blue is pretty much the cause of that. Blue doesn't promote warmth it's a colour you tend to associate with ice, water, winter etc which no doubt is the reason for the change. The Cobalt and Coast is a massive improvement since they painted the blue panels grey, shame they're all chipped with the blue coming through now though.
Personally I think it's the worst interior in the north east (especially the original with blue floors aswell) other than the very short lived Arriva 1970's green bathroom sink one (Operation Overdrive / 57 plate Enviros)
Nah. No blue on an Arriva bus at all. Not anywhere.
