Picture on website of this weeks 'Northumberland Gazette' newspaper of bus 7456 in field, having skidded off road at Alnmouth.

That happened yesterday I understand. 1428 is the latest Pulsar to be repainted (joining 1424/6)

1923/4 were both on the 15 today, 1756 on the 17/a/b and 1752 was on the 63. 1621 was also on there.

4062 shows a new display presumably a bad weather display - 28 Guisborough Market Place

1923/24 cream cowhorn looks a bit wierd imo as they just font look right.

Early ANE repaints featured that style of Cowhorn. Given their age, hopefully they'll be repainted at some point to match the rest of the fleet (the other 'early' repaints will be withdrawn soon).

Ah rite thanks for that kuyoyo,just thought they looked a bit big and odd.

It's mostly because we standardised on the old style swirl from the old livery up until 2009 when the first batch of Pulsars arrived. Rather than moving the cream swirl forward and then creating the cowhorn from the front, we would cheapen it by taking the second line of the cowhorn from the front making it very wide and straight at the bottom and going through the wheel arch.

For example, we painted our now withdrawn Europeans from this http://www.flickr.com/photos/jncarter196...otostream/ to this http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/co...y_2009.JPG whereas the Midlands ones were the same with the larger swirl like this http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4007/44882...f672_z.jpg but then painted it into the new style (like it should be) to this http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6058/62836...dbd3_z.jpg by bringing the cowhorn forward.

Thanks for that NK07 im just use to seeing the northwests version which as people say is different to the north easts version.

Yeah no problem, we do like to be different....
