Guest transit Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 An extra touch of authenticity would be to have properly painted, rather than stuck on, adverts on the side upper panels. A friend of our family, Alan Collins, used to paint these adverts on Sheffield buses. I don't suppose there would be much call for his skill nowadays. alas no , the traditional signwriter advert skills have been superceded by computer vinyls for quite a while ! - although the buses are still usually hand painted like the above retros , but the linings , lettering and coats of arms ect are vinyl.

vox Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I noticed Hulleys have their buses in very similar colours to the old "cream and blues". Don't know how long they've been like that, but they obviously know a good colour scheme when they see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
