(04 Sep 2015, 4:44 pm)Malarkey Think there is a few Drifter/Saltwell Parks also missing branding also.
I think all the Drifters have had their missing branding re-applied now, but not 100% on that. There may be one still kicking around without branding on the front bumper still, as that one is fairly recent. As for Saltwell Parks - yes, 8340 has been missing a substantial amount of branding for months. Irritates the life out of me, and I've had the misfortune of seeing it every day this week.
To go back to the general topic of branding discussed last night / this morning, this is another disadvantage to branding. There's a cost to replace the vinyls and a cost for the third party to come out and fit them, and the whole process from start to finish seems to take far too long. In the mean time, the buses look absolutely dreadful. Goes back to what Gary M was saying yesterday - these buses are mobile billboards, but would you see McDonalds showcasing an advertisement on a billboard with a burger that wasn't looking absolutely fantastic?
