apparently 1 or 2 of the beachball liveried E300s are potentially going to get the pride livery when they go for repaint, i would put money on the Carlisle transfers if it does happen. i wonder if they are trying to distance themselves from Sir brians section 28 controversy from the early 2000s.
just a shame they couldn't have joined the other operators in the region and showed some appreciation for HMTQ
Would be nice to have a few "Poppy Buses" as well as the ones I have seen down south look really smart, I'd also like to see the new corporate livery with special nods towards the past of Sunderland/Newcastle & South Shields Busways/Economics & Cleveland Transit.
For example Stagecoach East Kent have repainted 17528 (LX51 FOX) into the old East Kent colours using the new livery and it looks fantastic -https://www.flickr.com/photos/darrent857/52189307293/in/dateposted/
