Is this a sponsorship deal open to random businesses or just for a laugh for a bus fanboy or is Go North East running booze cruises now, promoting drinking?
And what do they mean ‘change’? Change on to what? Don’t they mean ‘alight’?
And is ‘Railway Quarter’ something the Microbus owner has come up with themselves. That area was always known as the ‘Bridges Quarter’.
Why is it awful? I mean how dare a big bad multi-national operator promote local business.
I can't see the problem with it personally, aside from 'Railway Quarter' instead of 'Bridges Quarter', and if anything, I'd actually like to see more announcements like it. Alighting for Morrisons at Birtley would be useful on the 21, as would Trinity Square on the Jackson Street services. Unless we're assuming that everyone travelling on buses, knows exactly where everything is?
