Frequent fleet changes of the past can't be repeated as often after such an intensive re-painting period.
Would hate to see a Gateshead coloured Versa end up being shifted to Chester or a Peterlee Solo allocated to Deptford and the whole colour scheme going out of the window almost immediately.
I suppose it also means that the B9's allocated to the 26/27 are also needing a repaint in to the new colour scheme. Despite just having a re-paint.
I'd guess it is going in South Tyneside colours as the majority of its route - is South Tyneside. Or will it be Gateshead colours, with it being operated by Riverside - even though the route as a whole, only takes in a small proportion of the town.
An absolute farce.
Sort the route and network out before going on some sort of titivating exercise that means naff all to the majority of the customers.
I can't help but feel this is a total over-reaction? I'm shocked: I really don't understand why everything has to be taken so literally.
South Tyneside and Sunderland are deemed to be red, what colour is on the back of the Crusader? Red! Repaints have been aligned to this strategy for the past two years (this isn't a new thing!)
Clearly a route contained entirely within one area will be that colour predominantly, but this doesn't work for every service as there are many which cross between several different coloured zones.
