What are they thinking?
For those of you lucky enough not to be in Leamington, you may not know about the infestation which has happened in the town…

That's right. The Stagecoach X12s have been replaced by bright pink buses. They also have speakers and a crappy FM radio in it.
Unfortunately, tuning is an issue. Today we were delighted by the sound of a crackly, hissing, whining Classic Gold. Oh yes, really catering to the students there. Silence would be much better.
Oh yeah, and everyone on the bus now looks like a twerp.
Another great idea from our good friends at Stagecoach.

I've heard about this, and still will not be able to believe it til I see it with my own eyes. Even with my love of all things pink, this is a step too far…
And radio…that's going to get annoying veeeery quickly.
Gah. Who comes up with these ideas anyway?

Ooohhh dear.
Out here they have buses that screen hollywood blockbusters – some suggest that to Stagecoach!
I may be forced to walk to campus next year rather than have my masculinity compromised every morning.

This must end….NOW
Never mind the pink.
If I EVER get subjected to Lee Ryan – Army of Lovers at 8.30 in the morning again…. I'm buying a car.
Not only was the radio on REALLY VERY LOUDLY this morning, but it was playing "Aren't we funny?" Mercia FM who have to be the most stupid people on the planet (based on the crap they were talking).

To be fair Chris, your theory about them just being temporary replacement buses brought in while they paint the normal x12s does sound convincing… perhaps few such as ourselves will have ever seen them, and be left to propagate the myth of their existence once the old ones return…
