Go North East had a Little E200MMC on loan a few years ago. (Twice if I can remember) why don't they invest in them for the route (if they want a cleaner buses with Euro 6)
The branding advert makes no sense. As Go North East don't run it 7 days a week or till late.
Little Coasters seems to get the worst buses ever. Nothing is wrong with (698to701) yet there getting rid of them. They all had NSA when they were branded IndiGo (Better than current) now non of them have it. Especially since most of them are long routes (42/42A/19/11) and somehow don't require NSA
The 19 shouldn't be Little Coasters it doesn't make sense at all being it. The Little Coasters are the Wallsend local services and the 19 doesn't go anywhere near the place and there's no reason why anyone would use it to connect to it either. It only ever became Little Coaster because they cut the 42/42A in half and had branded buses spare imo.
Even known it's not that popular it deserves its own branding imo as it's the Cobalt to Northumberland Park Metro / Shields Ferry bus route and it's still quite popular at doing that.

+ when 698-701 go. that is 4.
The 11 didn't include them there's 15 painted up atm. 12 if you include vaccine bus which will come back eventually.
