No harm in it, really. Promoting pride, diversity, etc, all week long.
Lets have a look at 8335... (https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photog...mG-aiAEFd/)
Is it the same base colour as all the Quaylink buses... check
Does it have the Quaylink name written on the side... check
Is it operational and able to move on its own... check
I cannot see an issue with the pride bus being out on a Sunday, it's a operational vehicle, and pride doesn't need to take a day off unless needed too. In fact Go North East probably has this Quaylink vehicle out more than any other due to what it stands for and for the fact it's quite eyecatch. I've often hear kids say to their parents that the rainbow bus is going past when they see it, so not only it's showing GNE's contribution towards Pride, it's brightening up the day for little children everywhere.
