(28 Nov 2015, 5:26 pm)R852 PRG When I saw 4978 today, with what is supposedly the finished article of the corporate livery that it gained some time ago, I wondered; what has happened to that? I haven't heard much of any other vehicles receiving the same branding, has it just been forgotten about?

Some of the poles and bars on buses are absolutely manky, and you can visibly see the dirt on them. Combine that with how many folk have been to the toilet without washing their hands, sneezing full of cold, etc, and you get an idea of just how much germs you're coming into contact with.
It's perhaps worth noting,that in the QCS scheme, there'd be a stipulation that buses should be deep cleaned every 4 weeks. This can be found in Appendix S.

A single car would cause huge tailbacks, depending on the location of the breakdown. As it creates a bottleneck from two lanes into one.
It's daft unconstructive posts like this, for why we don't have a like system anymore.

(30 Nov 2015, 5:21 pm)Adrian Yeah I agree. I think it'll just have taken a back seat, whilst they prepared buses for the service changes last month. It seemed to take an age and a day, to get the Diamond Mercs repainted/branded.
I'd hope to see it start happening, once we've had the 2015 order delivered and out in service. I can't see much being done in the meantime.
