The Omnidekkas I got on over the summer were in blue "Go" trim, but I've had several still with the red fabric since the first ones moved up here.If you're acquiring a bus towards the end of it's life expressly for the purpose of using it on scholar's then where is the incentive to spend any money on them? It's a business at the end of the day, it has to make a profit and to be honest how many times are parents going to be that bothered about the bus their child travels other than is I safe to be on the road and will it get them to and from school on time?
Even if they haven't, it doesn't give a fantastic impression to potential customers. Think of all the school kids who are using them on scholars, will they want to travel on something like that to work when they leave school, or will they opt for the car? Think of all the times they've been used on Metro replacements. Think of all the times they *have* been used on front line service work.
I accept your point on Metro Replacements that they don't give a great impressions, but in all honesty again, where is the incentive to spend money on them when Nexus primarily operate on cheapest bid wins. If you're spending money to make them look good you're just decreasing your margins.
