This along with East Gateshead Rider and whatever other crap Stenning has produced isn't exactly roll-of-your-tongue material. Just branding for the sake of branding.

There are attractions in Sunderland and Penshaw that inspiration could've been derived from, but clearly someone in London doesn't know the importance of these places compared to local designers.

Does indeed seem like branding for the sake of it.

Are we going to see a return of the Lime? Sunderlanddistrict limes 
or perhaps Sunderlanddistrict Lemons, Sunderlanddistrict Oranges - are the black/red minibuses perhaps Sunderlanddistrict coals?
