FMR: Refurbs and Repaints
Re: FMR: Refurbs and Repaints
Nope !
Don't like that ! ( - I think it spoils the neat appearance of the SteetDeck).
(Is that Ray Stenning ?)
I'd much prefer (just) the "classy" Malverns logo, as illustrated on page 11 of this thread.
I cannot blame First for doing the promo though !!
(How about - "..... ooohh, Matron !! " - - for the back of the hospital buses, perhaps ?)
- Or, "..... bald-eagles go by bus" .....
(with Ray dressed-up as an eagle, and a back-drop of the Malvern Hills) ?
( I hope the contractors have been told to NOT put any of their "graffiti" on 6015 !! )
Re: FMR: Refurbs and Repaints
Diamond did the “Matron” thing a few years ago and got into a spot of bother over it.
Re: FMR: Refurbs and Repaints
I don't have the 'Matron' advert on file but these shots of Diamond Solos taken in September 2009 give a flavour of their themes and show that the idea is not new. I have a vague recollection that the nurse depicted in that 'matron' spoof was rather scantily dressed, so that may have caused offence! My corny version for the X43/X44 and 44s might go on the lines of;
'A window with a view - Marvellous, Magnificent Malverns!'
Re: FMR: Refurbs and Repaints
They also got into trouble with that “Ride me all night” caption seen in the last photo.
Re: FMR: Refurbs and Repaints
I'm not surprised !!!
With the daily news currently exposing and shaming people who have "gone too far" (or worse) in the work-place, - that advert could have made it to the headlines !!
( "..... Go Too Far - - by Bus !" ) ?

63365 being stripped of the 44 route branding as I finished work tonight.
Re: FMR: Refurbs and Repaints
I remember the Diamond adverts on the back of their buses
I'm sure the 30 / N30 they used to run had 'disco queen to Dines Green' on the back of a couple of their vehicles.

Re: FMR: Refurbs and Repaints
I remember the tag line but can't remember what route it was on. Meanwhile, I've found Matron...
Re: FMR: Refurbs and Repaints
There was seperate route branding for the Dart that Diamond used when they operated the 39 but i don't recall any funny adverts on the back of the Dart they used on that route.
I liked your catchy idea for the advert slogan for the Malvern group of routes AdamH.
