First I've heard of it.

673 - this one has previously been repaired for having a dull destination. It was repaired a few months ago, but no harm in checking this one again for other faults.

675 - how long has it been like that? I saw it not so long ago and it was fine.

Maybe deep internal clean, fixing of minor mechanical issues, replacing light bulbs, external wash, tightening a few screws.....

We're probably reading too much into it... It's a Quaylink branded bus - rainbow or not - so they'll put it on any Quaylink service regardless of whether it should be a purple or a green one.

No harm in it, really. Promoting pride, diversity, etc, all week long.

Lets have a look at 8335... (https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photog...mG-aiAEFd/)

Is it the same base colour as all the Quaylink buses... check
Does it have the Quaylink name written on the side... check
Is it operational and able to move on its own... check

I cannot see an issue with the pride bus being out on a Sunday, it's a operational vehicle, and pride doesn't need to take a day off unless needed too. In fact Go North East probably has this Quaylink vehicle out more than any other due to what it stands for and for the fact it's quite eyecatch. I've often hear kids say to their parents that the rainbow bus is going past when they see it, so not only it's showing GNE's contribution towards Pride, it's brightening up the day for little children everywhere.

Think it's possible where 8335 was parked in the depot could have possibly been down to it being allocated to the Q1/Q2 today? Perhaps 8335 was easier to get out of the depot this morning than one of the specifically Q1/Q2 branded examples, especially with it being Sunday with less of the buses being out on the road in service today. Not really a problem given 8335 is not specific Quaylink route branded and it's normally on the Q1/Q2 anyway.
