Am I being blind? Or is Comic Sans MS the font used for the 22/23 branding?!

Nope, they actually used Comic Sans, same for the 28/29 branding.

Because they were comic book based characters that were originally made in Dundee, hence the Comic Sans font.

4 was The Minnie the Minx Route
22 was The Oor Wullie Route
28/29 was The Dennis and Gnasher Route

Comic Sans is still an awful font choice for that purpose. There are a ton of comic book fonts on Font Squirrel that are free for commercial use that would have looked a lot better than the tacky, outdated Comic Sans, which was intended for use in informal documents and children's materials, not for comic books!

Mentioned today that Dundee is getting 10 new double deckers this year.
That should see the presidents off the road.

Announced in this weeks staff business brief

We've placed an order this week for some brand new, Platinum-style buses for Dundee. We're working on the specific livery and spec with the Xplore team, and they will definitely be the pride of the city.

The new buses should arrive towards the end of the year.

winston · April 20, 2018, 09:12:37 AM

Is it for 10 or more?

Are NXWM getting some new buses towards the end of the year?

Possible brand for the platinums in Dundee maybe Xplore Saltire?

Not immediately. 4680 was done because of the advert removal

BK63 YWP · May 16, 2018, 10:36:41 PM

Will 732 be joining 733/4 at acocks green? Are there plans to crimson them or take them back to Dundee in green?

4680 has reverted to green lining & stripe, whilst Hybrids 5429/30 have those in gold (which looks much better)
