I don't have the video handy, but @whistlehead recorded one that was grating after every up-shift... also not a good sound.
Jesus they've done and awful job on that like, Credit to Mark Haldon on Flickr for this photo Arriva2545 thats how we did it the advert is covering the web-address however.Mmmmm...YUCK. Why do the swoops cross over the black rubber strips? Why is the website so dis-proportionally high? And again, blue as far as the eye can see, no black areas to even the color, such as between windows. Wha?

Not my picture because it obviously isn't.
Still, the Xelabus effort looks better than the Mortons effort.

If they actually mean a regular-sized advert, I'd be happy to let that one slide. However, the article mentions an all-over wrap, which although it may have been funded by the company, doesn't really feel like the best way to preserve it. Maybe it's just some dodgy wording.I wouldn't think it unlikely that, when presented with a bus-sized advert board in a popular museum, a clothing company wouldn't want to put some money towards the preservation of said bus to have their name be on that advert.
Ahhh, you mean this one?
Yeah, just listen to the acceleration from 1:30 onwards after the stop... And this is a Sapphire vehicle which is under two years old.
GNE's seem better than Arriva's, but the single worst element of the design is the emergency exit - the top corner of the door flops open over bumps and clatters shut again, and the curved body sides mean that a universal joint has been fitted halfway up the emergency release mechanism bar, creating yet more rattles - that's 99% of what you're hearing over the bumps. Don't sit within like three rows of the emergency exit if at all possible.
Again, some are better than others, but that only really speaks of inconsistent build quality more than anything.
