And how much did they pay for this masterpiece of rebranding, I wonder?



About one.million


Thanks.

I always wondered what "money going down a plughole" sounded like.

I got the joke.

You may still be right about the rebranding cost though.

I saw the first example of a refurbished 317/6 in "one" livery at
cambridge this morning. My they have been fast with the vinyls!


The vinyl's on 321446 which is also in Rainbow livery were applied within a
few days, I rode it on the last Friday of FGE (26th Mar), when it was in
full FGE Blue/Green/Grey, then by the start of one it was out in Rainbow
colours. Crap vinyl's as well, you can see the FGE colours below, above the
windows and doors being the worst.

Given the extent of the livery change the finish on the 317 unit was
impressive I thought.

PS No grocer's apostrophes in plurals please.

Whoops, that will be the effect (or should that be affect?) of not paying
attention to what the spell checker is suggesting.
