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.
Absolutely! I completely agree with you mate. "Berries". What hilarity.
Ludicrous the lot of it. The network looks horrendous now. Stenning has ruined the image of this once great operator. He doesn't know shit from sand and I've loathed everything he's done design-wise for Go North East. I could have done a better job, and that's coming from someone who doesn't like his own work. You could have revolutionised it!! But no, they join the bandwagon and go with him and his laziness, like 99% of operators around the country. All because of money.
I'm also with you on what you said about the local attractions. There is SO much inspiration, yet he chooses a fruit — not to mention one which is totally irrelevant to the area. Pmsl.
Berries. Eeeeeeee — what a laugh.
