Quote from: don on April 26, 2022, 10:20:41 AMI noticed yesterday afternoon 4279 tracking on the 11C on bustimes.org but shown as a purplish livery. Was this just an error or has something changed?
It has an overall ad for Sealife

It's in an allover advert livery for the Sea Life Centre, and although the contract is quite short will probably remain as such until withdrawn

Thanks Tony/ BNH2004.

I thought it might be but then wondered if a 'Platinum Jubilee' bus had been sneaked in!! There again hardly likely on such an old bus...

4286 has had an allover ad for several years now. Presumably that one will be withdrawn with that one on to?

The Whole 41 and 46 being operated by omnilinks. 6701 is there but is the only double decker. Is 41 going to be omnilink because of the tight corner on Berkeley Road

Well then it's not 'all' Omnilink then? Use your common sense... The tight turn you was on about has seen Deckers and full size Singles before so I don't see why either types at AG won't be used.

A decker will be easier to get round a tight turn than an OmniLink as well

Someone (or a group of people) have been going over the top with the livery indicators on BusTimes.

It wasn't enough to just have basic 'Platinum', 'Crimson' and 'Old' (red/white), someone started adding all sorts of specific route-branded and livery-branded icons, which now just makes the map look a confusing mess to be honest.

In the case of 4279, looking at the pending edits, this bus has now been changed to a blue livery indicator because it has a "Sealife all-over advert".

Please, just stop it! :undecided:

I tend to disagree @Stu - I find them quite useful as an enthusiast, but more importantly as a bus passenger using the site - it's useful to be able to see the livery of the vehicle you're waiting for, especially when you're at a stop with multiple regular services. I use the site regularly as both.

It would be nice not to show your attitude over a small thing mate. I included 6701 in there's nothing to show your attitude about.
