Don't see the problem with one of the Fast Cats examples being repainted then - but I still think that it should have branded spare, with it having a big PVR. I also think that the 20/20A should have a branded spare too, with it also having a big PVR.
I agree, but disagree too, and I've shared my thoughts on branded spare vehicles in the past when it has been discussed.
At the end of the day it doesn't really matter what we think though, as Go North East's preferred option is having corporate liveried spares of the same vehicle type. Certainly think those who allocate buses at depots will prefer having corporate liveried spares - not so much pressure to get a replacement organised if it has to go out on a service which it shouldn't be allocated to! Most customers won't think anything of it when corporate liveried spares turn up in place of a branded vehicle - in the event that it's of the same specification as the normal allocation would be.
