Bonanza Go-North

 |
| Go-North East has
embarked on a mammoth branding exercise that has seen no fewer than 30
route liveries applied to their vehicles. Never knowingly
buying the same vehicle combination twice, recent deliveries have included
Mercedes Citaros (upper left), Omni-link Scanias (lower left)
and Wright bodied Volvos (above right). Many older
buses in the fleet have been repainted (below), but many have been
bought new such as a large intake of Scanias (further below).
Most operate around Newcastle and serve all major Go-North East towns such
as Gateshead, Sunderland and South Shields. |

| This is not
the first time that vehicles from Northern General (Go-North East's
predecessor) have worn distinctive livery. In the 1980's their
vehicles operating around Newcastle wore Tyne and Wear PTE livery as
represented by 3562 (MBR462T), an ECW bodied Atlantean seen in
Newcastle in August 1981. This vehicle also sports a broadside
advert (all the rage then) for the ubiquitous Binns store. |
