Not sure it does look better for it up close..!
Personal preferences aside, vinyl on windows is a controversial subject, and I've certainly always said that The Castles Express stands out a country mile against Arriva buses whilst retaining the common link with the Angel (exactly the purpose it was intended to have!) Plenty of windows upstairs which don't have vinyl on, and having travelled on those buses many times, I've always thought that it looks worse on the outside than what it actually does from when you look from the inside. Aside from issues with vinyl on window, The Castles Express was also a great success story in the growth that it delivered against Pronto, and demonstrated partnerships with local stakeholders on that route.
No immediate plans for repaint or re-brand.
