Go North East has brought five newly branded buses onto the roads of Newcastle to mark one of the city’s most legendary events – the Blaydon Race.
The single deck ‘Blaydon Racer’ buses have been transformed as part of a £650,000 investment programme by Go North East, refurbishing 36 vehicles.
Now with leather seats, under-seat lighting, audio-visual next stop announcements and free wi-fi access, the environmentally-friendly buses offer passengers of the popular route a comfortable and convenient journey.
Stephen King, head of commercial and retail at Go North East, says: “The new-look buses are steeped in local tradition but with a modern twist, as the refurbishment has brought each one up to the highest quality.
