Creative Master Northcord model UKBUS3027
Solent Blue Line "Red Rocket" Mini Pointer Dart on
route A (Eastleigh).
Background info:
Hampshire bus operator Solent Blue Line brought a splash of
colour to the local transport scene when they reinvented their
local network around Eastleigh as 'Red Rockets' in autumn 2006.
Wanting to bring an element of fun and excitement to local bus
travel, Solent Blue Line commissioned well known agency Best
Impressions to design this striking red colour scheme.
The new livery was applied to ten 'Mini Pointer Dart' single
deckers, but the rebranding did not stop there! Each bus was
decorated internally with vinyls promoting travel by Red Rocket and
also recalling famous rockets in history. As a finishing touch,
humorous slogans on a space theme were applied to both sides of
each bus - all of them different - provoking a positive reaction
from both passengers and passers by.
This vehicle, fleet number 577 (SN03 ECC), is one of around
a hundred buses operated by Solent Blue Line on its extensive
network of routes in Southern England.
