Go North East: 6050 / NK12GDE
Go North East's Riverside-based Volvo B9TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini 2 6050 (NK12 GDE), which carries a commemorative rainbow livery to support the company's 'One Team GNE' colleague and community network initiative, is pictured here at the Metrocentre Coach Park, Gateshead, whilst out of service. 22/03/21
During the Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis, Go North East colleagues have demonstrated some exceptional team spirit, shown across the whole company, with colleagues coming together like never before to face many challenges with great strength, pragmatism and positivity.
To take everyone’s great efforts to the next level in working to make Go North East's company culture kinder, more inclusive and mutually supportive, whilst also improving engagement with the communities they serve, the company launched a new internal initiative called ‘One Team GNE’, in 2020.
Bus 6050, which was already planned for repaint due to the impending delivery of new vehicles for the "Red Arrows" X1 service, has been adorned in a striking ‘retro’ multi-coloured scheme.
Inspired by a re-work of the company’s infamous 1985 'don't judge a bus by its colour' initiative alongside the rainbow image that has been so prevalent during the coronavirus crisis.
The vehicle has become a visual symbol of the company’s ‘One Team GNE’ colleague and community network being launched to build upon the great strength and team spirit shown by its team during the depths of the crisis, to work together to build even better relations across the company and the communities it serves.
Following its repaint last year, Volvo B9TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini 2 6050 (NK12 GDE) has now been internally refurbished, with re-trimmed seats in a retro rainbow moquette and rainbow coloured headrests, and Alfatronix-supplied rainbow USB chargers.
