(12 Aug 2018, 8:14 pm)mb134 How does it detract from supporting LGBT? The swoop hasn't changed, and is still a very prominent part of the livery. It was always meant to be allocated to the 308, so route branding it makes sense. Very much seems like you're making a fuss about nothing.
When I saw it yesterday my eyes were drawn straight to the branding, completely bypassing the Pride swoop. I don't speak for everyone, hence why you clearly don't share the same views as myself, but that experience is my reasoning for suggesting that the branding does detract from the LGBT element of the livery.
I'm fully aware that it was always going to be allocated to the 308, hence why I suggested in my last reply to you that they should have looked into repainting and fitting the Pride livery to one of the MAX spares at Blyth instead if they were that bothered about branding. After all, they're going to be repainted eventually.
I'm also still waiting for a suggestion as to why it was seen as ok to allow the bus to run around 308 branding free for at least a month, while still making up past of the 308's PVR, as it was always planned that it would, very much seems like you've glossed over that part of my post.
You might think I'm fussing about nothing and yes, it isn't the most important thing in the world, but I'm still perfectly entitled to have an opinion on it and explain (or fuss?) myself when somebody criticizes it.
