I think it's fantastic personally. Shows NX to be more than just another faceless organisation and supports a good cause.

Not to mention all the charity work taken on by the company as a whole and various individdual employee's who have done their bit for charity (The Joke telling Bus Driver at PE who i can't remember the name of is one to mention)

I hadn't heard of that one Nathan but I do remember there was something done for Remembrance Day last year too, and the scheme for donating old glasses. I think it's fair to say NX does do its bit.

That's very true Nathan. Was also very kind of them to name 4817 after the young lad!
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

One of our OmniCitys has gained an offside ad - Serving Birmingham with Pride. I wonder if it will be used in the parade

Is it 4779 just returned from refurb? That will look very smart in the parade

No, that was out today, has no adverts yet. I saw the bus with the ad, but forgot to look at the fleetnumber! It will be one of 4778/80/81

Excellent for NX to embrace this again this year. But...

Am I allowed to be proud to be straight? Is that O.K in today's world?

just sayin'

As Dom said, be proud of whoever you are!

On a serious note I have faced Homophobia whilst working  :'(, so as long as there is still that problem around then at least NX management are trying to send out the message that they are supporting their staff and the wilder community! 8)
I know exactly how you feel i've had the same at school for being bi-sexual but im glad a company on this scale is once again supporting it.

It's 4780!

You beat me to it Matt! Had ads on both sides. Did you see it today Matt, as it was in the garage at 11 this morning
