Buses with Merry Christmas on display

[Dutsey]

I saw a Central Bus this morning on the Xpre55 showing Merry Christmas on the display.

Do any other companies do this?

Same  - seen a fair number of YW buses having Merry Christmas on instead of "sorry not in service." Nice touch from them actually.

Hansons display seasons greetings on their centrads.

That is something I always think gives a bus company 'brownie points', and that is from a 'Bah Humbug' person like myself!

P.S. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

That's great, the one out on the 35 last week was a Scania and it had tinsel and decorations up inside. I remember last year it went onto nearly all of our routes.

Pity it wont be on the 35 again tomorrow :( got to love YW for making the effort every year!

Spotted an Eclipse 2 B7RLE this morning in Acocks Green, not in service, with 'Happy New Year!' scrolling on the rear display.

Bit premature!

Obviously like Christmas which appears to start around October in this era!

I know I'm a little late on this (I've only just spotted it) but I thought it was worth an add!
Stagecoach Nuneaton have "Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year" programmed onto their blinds which during the festive season, a lot of drivers substitute it for the Not In Service blind.
Or if you're me, you leave buses sat in the Bus Station in the middle of a Summer heatwave with it showing, much to the amusement of passers by, 1 child (the summer just gone) pointing and asking his father what was going on!

I've got a picture of it displayed on a Dart on New Year's Day 2010 at Tile Hill South on the NX Coventry 19 route, whilst I was directing a driver on it: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1399740573639834&l=4302b63bdf
