Re: Hillside Trains: The first 48 hours



A new train of thought seems to be summed up best by:

"Near enough is good enough", at least when it comes to their application of
the new stickers.

462M and 582M appear to have been somewhat rushed, the stickers are at a
significant angle from the horizontal, especially noticeable when looking
down the length of the train and there is a nice long even yellow line with
a ripple next to one of the cabs...

12M (Bayside) appears to be the same except instead of the Hillside sticker,
a green and yellow sticker as traditional.

What's the deal with Bayside? They seem to quite happily paint big "B"s on
the front of their trains but seem to want to keep the green and yellow
stripes. Whilst some may find that the blue and orange nicely compliments
the green and yellow, I for one don't.

Whatever happened to the old days when they supposedly didn't understand
proper marketing but at least weren't colour blind!
