Wellglade Bus Photographs
the end of the Rainbow
23rd November 2008

In November, it was decided that the Rainbow 5 name would be axed in favour of indigo, because more people refer to the colour of the bus than the name. It also has more commercial potential because the company can now focus more on the word 'go' and produce better advertising techniques, than the Rainbow name which has run its course. Here we have a selection of photos, which I personally feel are my best of R5 vehicles. Enjoy.
