Looks ghastly.

Don't get me wrong, it certainly stands out and I guess it's achieving its purpose for that reason, but I'd suggest throwing those vinyls on a bus like that is far worse than anything other operators in the region have done by putting contravision on windows...

Perhaps others will suggest otherwise, though, given that passengers can see the glorious views Newcastle offers out of all windows.

I blame GNE for axing the X3, even though I never used it... Wink

In all seriousness though. Yeah it's god awful, but it certainly does stand out. It just looks like a massive green bench out of the commons.

Having a bit of a debate with the emmmmm plonker sitting over the table from me at the moment about what services Sunderland Gas uses have been used on.

He says they have only ever been used on the 3/4/13/16/20 and X1.

I say they have also been used on the 5 and 23 and are on a weekly basis. Now I can blow him out of the window with a picture of one on the 23 but dose anyone have any pictures of one on the 5????

It would be great if a Gas Bus is occasionally used on the "E" services, as the use of 1 or 2 Sunderland vehicles on the "E" services is becoming more and more common.
