Offside ad frames

[John]

Why have a number of buses had their adverts on the offside removed and plain boards put in their place? Like 4360

A number of PB buses have also had this done as well (plus a few Sutton buses have had the ads removed completely). Also a few from other garages have too that I have seen over the past weeks

I know its rather trivial, but I was just wondering why

Its not plain boards, it is the body of the bus

Its not, as the body under the frame is red following the stripe when repainted

Perhaps preparation for NX to apply their own advertising/branding boards, similar to what First have done on a few routes?

Or theres just not anything to be advertised that nobody wants to eat, drink, watch or own. On the Scutton Lines E400's theres a bit of difference of where the paint has/hasn't faded.

That photo emphasises just how rank the livery is - breaking up the really tricky diagonal with a chunky cluster of dirty white rectangles.  Awesome.
