Amazing how they have been able to apply that, but haven’t been able to apply their own company logos. It makes the whole thing seem rushed to boost CSR, given that we are now into the last 10 days of ‘Pride month’.

The Pride 'swoops' are part of a separate livery file, which is designed to be applied on top of a fully branded bus...  Confused

The Pride events aren't until next month so hopefully Marketing sort this out.

Sorry, I didn't think to actually type the full thing out.

Corporate Social Responsibility - in this instance doing their bit for the community by supporting the LGBT+ group.

Sick of telling arriva and nexus that 1577 front blind is defective as cant see it but no joy. Arriva seem to be ignoring emails now and nexus say they cant do anything. Surely this is against DDA as you cant see it especially in daylight

That's a strange way of doing it, but as long as they understand it then it doesn't matter too much.

Probably no different from the poppy buses.

Well, a section of the community.

What's that?!
RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - June 2018
Just noticed there's new online timetables for the X93 this year, with an enhanced service during the school holidays. Good news except maybe slightly confusing having two versions of the traditional summer timetable.

But what's this 'Guided Tour' thing all about, that is advertised on certain journeys only?

1406 is also back at Darlington depot. Think these are the result of Darlington depot regaining two X66/X67 boards.

Although the way it's looking, they'll be back at Stockton before the year's out...………..

What's happened to 1764?


RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - June 2018

Withdrawn last year.

7413 should, I believe, currently be at Ashington as the X18 summer spare.
