(05 Mar 2021, 3:18 pm)MichealAaron wrote Right this is my opinion. I think GNE need to debrand the Little Coaster buses and change them to 2019 livery. Here's why. 
Number 1. The branding on the side doesn't work or fit anymore for GNE, "Frequency bus service from Early to Late 7 days a week" 
This is more to the fact GNE don't run the service on a Sunday or Lates anymore. Most they run up to is 6pm with the exception being the 41 which runs till 8pm. 
Number 2, The branding doesn't make a whole lot of sense. For the 41 and 11 yes I can understand but the 42 42A and 19. Reason is the 42A runs all the way to Kingston Park and the 42 and 19 run into Northumberland. I could be wrong. 
This is just my opinion so I'd be happy if I missed something or I'm wrong about it lol
Disagree with the second point - while the 42 and 42A do leave North Tyneside, they spend the vast majority of their respective routes in the borough. With the 42, it only spends about five minutes in Northumberland, and Cramlington is pretty much just a continuation of the North Tyneside suburbs anyway. The 42A wanders a bit more, but doesn't actually enter Newcastle until it gets to Hazlerigg, which is about three quarters of the way through the route.

You could compare it to Little Pinks. That's a Washington network, but some of its services extend to Birtley/Heworth - but they're still mainly in Washington.
