(02 Feb 2015, 2:08 pm)Dan wrote What has really started to irritate me over the past few weeks is the: "Check out our new ride - it's a gas!" tagline which is carried by all of Sunderland's gas buses.

I wouldn't consider these buses to be new any more. How much longer will Stagecoach think otherwise?

Further to this, I saw an ADL Enviro200 today minus advertisements. This revealed the "This is one of [however many] new buses entering service in Sunderland in November 2014!" vinyls.

Wonder if it would have been more cost-effective to do them as advertisement boards so they could be chucked after a month or so... They're not new buses any more, but the promotion is still ongoing (in 2015!)
