, in reply to "Pepsi buses" 193.61.159.18
Buses like 2673 look great when they first receive their advertisement, but they soon start to look tatty. I must say that I am not the biggest fan of c/visin ads, especially from a passenger point of view , as you can see nothing out of the windows. These ads look terrible when one, or a number of windows get broken.
Out of all the c/vision ads currently about, I would say that 1322 of Laganside is my favourite. 1322 carries an add for New Deal.
Up here in CL, all over ads are rare to say the least. The last Coleraine bus to carry an all over advertisement was 1161, for Ulsterbus Now Smoke Free and it returned to fleet colours a number of years ago.
Lately 1186 received a super rear advertisement for Morrison Homes, but when it carried this ad, it spent most of its time at Laganside. By the time it returned to CL, the ad had started to peal off and was soon removed.
The only local advertising bus up here is Cityliner 1485 of Ballymena, which carries a super rear for Coca Cola.
