(07 Feb 2017, 5:11 pm)Dan All of Riverside's fleet are having the new logos fitted at present.
Will the blobs etc come at a later date with the (hopefully slightly amended) 'yellow flash' then? I believe it was said (it may have been you, I can't remember) that they would gain the blobs with this livery refresh but no sign as of yet.
It is a subject that I have kept banging on about and I do apologise, but it does just make me wonder why spare vehicles need to gain a special livery in order to gain the blobs. The idea that passengers will find out soon enough whether the bus has wifi, plug sockets etc, but then the same could be said for the branded vehicles. I wouldn't personally stick the NSA blob on the spare vehicles, as it does not form part of the allocation for that service which is why I wouldn't have put one on 6099 although at the time, SunFM were a provider of Next Stop Announcements (and I believe they still exist on the 60?)
On the topic of blobs (and I appreciate this one has been around for a long time now), the Tynedale Links SRs have lost their 'seatbelts' blob and have had the wifi blob shifted forward a bit. I hate to provide fuel for this argument and don't expect anybody to know (mainly putting my thoughts out there), but were people complaining about a lack of visibility out of those windows?
