Red: From the Northern days, most subsidiaries back before dereg were red, with a white band, this explains the red and the white stripe.
Yellow Stripe: a nod to the venture days of when the buses were Yellow and maroon, also the Tyne and Wear PTE livery.
Blue: Sunderland District blue and in the 90s the prominent Go Ahead Gateshead colour.
Isn't it just more a hark to GoNorthEast. It's been it's three brand colours since it started bar a period where the yellow was dropped for a bit.
