Totally agree with the points raised here.
Can understand some of the rational behind the painting, but then you have the orange 56, the green 78... Then the blue 60 which doesn't go anywhere near whatever area 'blue' is.
I’m personally not sure what the difference here is between current colours for area strategy versus the now much maligned and failed route branding for everyone strategy of the early 2000s.
Mixing Sunderland and South Tyneside is an odd one too. Tho it does highlight how GNE has destroyed what was a fairly decent and comprehensive network in that area.
Heworth, Gateshead and Newcastle are going to look like a cascade of colour...at least the Angel will fit in with green Gateshead...
