I take a passing interest in Go North East purely because the wife's from that neck of the woods so we visit the area quite often.

They take route branding to another level, the sheer volume of different liveries is a bit bizarre.

Some nice Volvo B9TLs in service up there.

Agreed the route branding their and the turn out of the vehicles is amazing!

NXWM is my fave but I do like go north east, Trent Barton and Stagecoach just for their dominance but especially Oxford and Manchester.

I Know the whole Blackpool network as my nan lives there and i have memorised th routes. Miss the old vintage trams which were a sort of british icon

Same here know the blackpool network quite well tho I think ditching the coloured route branding was a bad idea and dont like the new trams at all to be honest. Best buses at blackpool by far are the east lancs tridents-best bodies for the trident by far

yes love the east lancs tridents. They have Euro 3 engine,5 speed ZF gearbox so sound identical to ours at WN so when i visit my nan (she lives in Blackpool) i always still feel at home. Yes i always remembered the colour scheme for the routes such as Route 14 the Mereside Tesco was Dark Green and Line 11 was blue/turquoise, The 3 and 4 were blue, The 5 was red,The 6 (had optare deltas for years) was brown,The 7 was a pinky/purple colour,The 1 was orange (first applied to ECW Leyland Olympians then later Tridents), The 2A/C were a light green (Remember seeing them at Blackpool North Train station). The 20 (The Zoo bus) used to run with the City Sightseeing brand with Leyland Olympians and Metrobuses.

The East Lancs Tridents are the Best Buses Blackpool have and If I've got this right 2 of the Sightseeing Metrobuses they had were ex-TWM 2072 and 2076 :)

I've followed the First operation in Worcestershire for as long time... prob going back as early as 1993 when I was about 9.  I remember studying the timetable booklets you used to be able to buy with the whole Worcestershire & Hereford network for 50p from the Bull Ring Bus Station, and tracing all these 'new' and exciting routes on an A to Z. :-)
