New megaside on 4432, probably a good idea not putting this on a President or Merc. (see poor quality photo attached)

4140 also has a new overall advert, didn't catch what it was for

I'm not sure why, but there's something about megaside adverts that makes buses uninteresting about them... Oh, have you seen the LED adverts (similar to last year's One Direction one) on PB's Enviros? I think they say something like 'It's nearly Christmas' or something...

I didn't think NX were keen on these, as they end up knackering the paintwork when they're removed? Unless they're only getting applied to buses that haven't been repainted yet?

Both 4432 and 4140 are in very tatty old livery anyway, so actually look tidier with the adverts on

That was quick work indeed, when I snapped 4140 yesterday it still had the ad for Pacific Rim from July! I wonder how many more ads it will see before repaint.

'Christmas is Coming', advert for Sky Movies. Only on the '61' plates, most of 4843-56 have got them

That doesn't look like its got LED's though?

Tridents are fairly fire prone too!

Nathan4775

Noticed today, quite a few buses (Tridents,E400') have the 'Christmas is Coming' advert but doesn't light up.
How come its on the PB 33 Branded bus that have the light up version ?

4843-56 must be the only buses to have an electrical connection to the advert frame

I doubt its that, I'm sure its just LEDs connected to a button battery on the back of the advert itself. Shops have the same process with LEDs lighting up little Christmas stars.

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

Tony

4259 has a new overall advert so at least looks better than the falling off wrap livery

Solo1
