Seems like there's plans in place to replace the EYMS deckers already, which i would imagine is the Omnidekka's.

Advertisers just ask for buses to be painted. It's a little confusing and I don't think it should happen for full wrap but heh. I'll be surprised if any public members get confused.

This one is slightly different as it's more of a partnership than an advertisement. The companies would usually get paid for this sort of thing, but not in this instance. Hence Stagecoach going for the cheaper version of wrapping the bus in vinyl rather than full repaint plus vinyl on top.

(23 Jul 2018, 12:38 am)JM03 Tbf it looks a lot better on the enviro

Having seen it in person, I think the Enviro looks absolutely naff! A big gripe of mine is the advertisement rails being kept on the bus when they have no intention of being filled (but obviously there's a cost implication of removing them). The black cant rail on the Versa also helps to break up the pink so it sits a lot nicer on that vehicle type, in my opinion.

Really not sure why the Stagecoach example contains two #GetNorth2018 hashtags either, with very minimal Stagecoach branding (one very small logo on the front and that's it - the second #GetNorth2018 hashtag above the doors could have been substituted for a Stagecoach logo quite easily.

I suppose its good enough for the remaining 6 weeks or so left of the exhibition. I wonder how much it has cost Go North East to carry out the repaints and rebranding of the Versa's into this livery and then back into the Quaylink livery afterwards,  especially if they don't receive any funding towards it.

Pity they didn't spend whatever money was available on printing some timetable leaflets for their customers instead!

Re Advert boards.

Worst has to be the Red Kite Geminis, advert boards right across the branding of such an eye-catching application. I can only suspect that they are near to repaint in the near future, although have had their advert boards since May.

Bit too much going on at the moment, other things are being prioritised. But yes, the adverts slapped over the majority of the branding looks awful.

The repainting of Cobalt Clippers should have commenced by now (and half gained advertisement frames in the run up to this like Coaster), but the ex-London stock needs to take priority now while the buses are temporarily withdrawn before September anyway. The Red Kite B9s were due to have branding modified but again, other things needing to take priority for now.

The intake of the ex-London stock, including advert frames, really should have ousted the need for branded vehicles to need advert frames (to oblige contractual requirements)... But I suspect Go North East wouldn't get as much revenue for a scholars decker, than a branded bus on a core route. As with many things, cost vs benefit...
