Yes it's great the work previously done and this new livery is great, however the international rainbow meaning has been significantly diluted, especially with the press release saying everything about inclusion and diversity yet missing off the main focus point - bit of a kick in the teeth during Pride month
They appear every year at both Sunderland and Newcastle pride events, provide sponsorship, and even have a partnership with the Pride FM radio station. Their efforts wouldn’t go as far as that, if it was just political or for ‘fluffy marketing’.
This bus is multi-purpose, yes, in that it’s a nod back to the original bus back in the 80s, but I don’t think that’s a bad thing.
