5292 looked amazing in Pride livery. Even the Optare Versa did but all they could have done was given them a touch up of a paint job insted of branding them for complete no reason. There was no need to debrand them two as they were fine. But nah I'm sure Sunderland District is more important than showing pride in the company. Yea 6050 is good but it doesn't have any messages on like the Versa & Citaro did
Also will 6050 turn up to Newcastle pride which the Versa and Citaro did as I haven't seen turn it up yet (can't remember when 6050 was done)
At the risk of causing offence... yes, considering they're a bus company and the priority should be focused on running a bus service and promoting so by any means, don't get me wrong it is nice to see support shown for Pride and the LGBTQ+ community and perhaps this is something can continue to be done again with something similar in the future.
Personally as far as Pride liveries go I thought the GNE efforts were weak in comparison to some seen elsewhere in the industry.
