Seems appropriate for bus that spends its time out on the X10 going in and out of Dalton Park 

Not my image

Is it known how long this Promotional Livery is going to last?

I Would take it since that XLines is ending it will go into the fleet livery after.

In all fairness the 40th Anniversary was in April as that was when the first phase "Red Mall" opened it's doors in 1986.

Not sure why Go North East are putting vehicles into Promotional Liveries two to three months after the fact.

Probably because they are being paid to do it.

They aren’t doing it for the fun of it. Metrocentre will have paid for it.

Oh this will be fun to see. Gives an idea what those remaining Riders could look like when they eventually get done in 20 years time
