Yeah that’s appalling. Genuinely appalling.

If that's the case then the reflex action by management shows an acute lack of awareness of the difficulty of piloting articulated buses on the 700 route...

That has got to be someone outside of the company trolling right? Absolutely sick.

It's not by City. It's someone external to the company.

If I were the company, I'd be having words. Their reputation in that bar is ruined now, I'm sure most others they've been put up in.

I'm not sure anyone in a bar will be paying attention to some random stickers, assumingly in a toilet tbf.

It's just an attack on James Fairchild, who some people hate but that's for another place.

You'd be surprised. I was in the bar and it did bring up conversation and not positive for City Transport. Word gets around the small bars in Newcastle too. 

If City Transport are aware of who's doing it, they might want to try and do something about it.

The sticker is horrific. No ifs and buts about it. Even worse if someone has done it to damage their reputation.

The more I read, the more I have concern about City's reputation. Trouble seems to follow them around and in my experience, there's usually no smoke without fire.

Aye, I wouldn't be surprised if it's linked to the 'James Fairchild Appreciation Society' Facebook page which has some pretty wild claims and uses similar language. They definitely don't like him, as an understatement.
