Pride Bus

2206 · May 27, 2017, 03:01:27 PM

P776SWC, attended the Pride parade Event in Birmingham City Centre today. The HSBC Pride Bus, I think.
Saw it leaving the City Centre going under the A38 St Chads Queensway tunnel next to St Chads Cathedral, going towards Lancaster Circus Queensway at about 13:45 today.

That livery is terrible in my opinion.

Is it a vinyl job or an offical paint job?

Looks like a proper paint job on the picture I've seen

Looks awesome! @Tony is the bus going to wear the rainbow colours a while after pride itself?

I have to admit it looks horrible, not keen on rainbow colours on buses, last years pride bus looked nicer, as did 2016's pride bus!

It is not finished yet so maybe can wait until it is finished and you can make an informed decision. :) I didn't like 2016's version. 2017's version was a bit minimalistic, imo.

I really liked the Pride liveries on Brighton & Hove Volvo B9TL/Gemini (BF12 KXS) in 2016 and 2017.

There will be a model of BF12 KXS in Pride livery (OM46515A), and I'm looking forward to own one!
