I had to get off the X21 early because of a bunch of youths shouting and being generally disruptive

..compared to the placement of it on the Cobalt & Coasts: https://www.flickr.com/photos/127079988@N02/49002494837/in/photolist-2hEbAuD-2hDN3gK-2hBa7XR-2hBcTS9-2hBa7xc-2hznkM4-2hxQDCV-2hxikbE-2hSG3s5-2hJxwji-2hJs5V1-2hJpudw-2hE9u4b-2hAmgiW-2hAmgfe-2hxr66q-2hxq5Mv-2hvUeNK-2hvzHzJ-2hv1AMG-2hv1Ayk-2hqZ9mb-2hqWh7d-2hqWh4H-2hqZ6Vj-2hqWgZ9-2hqPzeP-2hmHiAU-2hfjeJ7-2haux59-2hwVwBR-2hwVwwW-2hvi46H-2hoLYAv-2hoJeYr-2hoCX9N-2hmmNA5-2hkUhA1-2hkSsgu-2hjPHyP-2hjPHqH-2hihmPb-2hihmG2-2hihmxK-2higkmh-2hieD47-2hieCWU-2hhnxLh-2hhnxCM-2hgp8EE

I think with the Cobalt & Coasts having the slogan on the same line it just looks like a really long logo with too much text. And I find it weird that the route name is then displaced up to alongside the advert frames.
I believe it was explained the Cobalt & Coasts had their GNE logos placed on the lower body panels to match the placement of company logos in the Brighton & Hove & Go North West divisions - I could be wrong? However as this theory then didn't follow through to the new Green Arrows livery, (or 2019 corporate liveried deckers), do this mean the decision was reversed? I just wondered and couldn't remember seeing anything on here about it.

At least it now says that it terminates at Eldon Square rather than Haymarket!

Also, has anyone else having trouble getting on here today?
I keep getting
