Seeing 6337 again tonight after a long absence has me wondering  , given the wording of the Queens jubilee is no longer appropriate, I wonder if the wording could be changed to reflect the King's coronation, rather than a repaint, or if the intention is to keep ot the same?

Lets remember that MG has gone, so painting for the sake of it will be kept minimum..

We shouldn't forget that it happened for over a decade before MG even arrived, but let's hope we've seen the last of it.

Yes I agree it wouldn't be cost effective to repaint so soon, but maybe the vinyls changed to commemorate the coronation as opposed to displaying the queens jubilee would be cheaper than a repaint?

It may be cheaper but there’s an ongoing revenue benefit from advertising if/when frames would be fitted to a bus that carries fleet livery, which would pay for the repaint several times over.

There's loads of feet livery buses running around with no advert frames on, you wonder why if there is much revenue to be gained from it

Simple, because they're ugly and look cheap.

I hate looking at adverts, if there's an option to pay and not see ads, I'll pay it!

The bad thing is you can only pay to not see ads online
remember when the metro used to have entire trains wraped in advertising? looked ugly and cheap

as for 6337, with the paint freeze thats going at gne at the minute, i doubt it will be repainted into 2019 livery. they might just cover up the vinyls and put something on for the king.

No GNE paint freeze - most of the ex Quaylink Versa have been repainted in the last few weeks.
