Title: Stagecoach advertising Post by: Shazz on January 10, 2008, 23:45:46 i don't know if any of you have seen this, but stagecoach are advertising there buses on TV now.
has anyone ever seen another bus/train operator do this? (with the exception of virgin, who do this lots) Would be nice to get fgw doing something, such as shouting about the cornish lines etc. Should increase the use...

Title: Re: Stagecoach advertising Post by: smokey on January 11, 2008, 17:20:09 There was a Great Western TV ad that showed an HST going through Menheniot station, but I think it was more than 5 years ago, reckon it was in the Days of Great Western Trains before First brought them out.

Southern have done an advert (see "tellyads.com" to view it). Virgin have done numerous.

Virgin have done numerous. Virgin, of course, did the TV advert with Indians on Horseback chasing the Virgin Voyager (Vomit Comet), this was quickly and quietly pulled after the main stream press asked "who was it the Red Indians used to chase?" Answer "COWBOYS" Title: Re: Stagecoach advertising Post by: 12hoursunday on January 18, 2008, 11:42:28 The advert was made just after First took over the Thames Trains franchise. Not sure how long ago bur t I think it was less than 5 yrs

Ever. Title: Re: Stagecoach advertising Post by: Btline on January 18, 2008, 18:54:35 The "text" language was dreadful- they should not be encouraging it.
I had to pause the advert to work out what was being said!

Perhaps an advert they should risk running again!!! just for fun of course!
