I think it's absolutely absurd to have advert boards over the branding.
They've had 7 years to do something with the Temsas and haven't done anything yet so they can't be that anxious for advertising space - and as you say, Arriva's own adverts are in a lot of the boards.

They wont be replacing the headrests where the old branding is, for the near future at least.

(23 Jun 2017, 11:16 am)palatine3833 I think it was Alex Hornby in one of the magazines commented about advertising on buses. The advertising brings in minimal revenue to companies, but if that space is so valuable to outside companies, surely it's valuable to the company itself? Why not use the space to promote your service, fare information etc. The one which is bugging me atm is the Shell V-Power adverts and Arnold Clark cars? You don't see Asda trucks advertising Morrisons, so why are buses advertising cars? They should be encouraging people onto the buses rather than getting a new car. Rant over

And at the very least if you're going to have advertising on branded vehicles at least design the livery to accommodate it. That Darlington Pulsar with half the Max covered looks ridiculous.

(28 Jun 2017, 8:36 am)Dan Logical to continue the numbers on from the last batch of Enviro400s, but they're not leaving themselves much wiggle-room for future orders in that fleet number series!

(28 Jun 2017, 8:49 am)RBZ 5459 Yeah, always found the Arriva numbering a bit too tidy for wiggle-room. Be a case of leaping the VDLs probably into the 77**s. *twitch* !
On another note, believe the first couple of Yorkshire Tempos are due imminently for storage/repaint.

(28 Jun 2017, 8:58 am)mb134 Potentially a case of Arriva not anticipating any more E400s when they started to get the VDLs?

(28 Jun 2017, 1:15 pm)RBZ 5459 7543/4 must have been the two delivered this morning then.
