TV Commercials

Supercar (Agency: Gold Greenless Trott - 1991)

The second joint TV campaign jointly funded by Network SouthEast and London Transport to promote One Day Travelcards following the change of brand name (from Capitalcard in January 1989) and advertising agencies.
With a ‘superman’ theme, the agency GGT came up with the concept of ‘Supercar’. Ex London Bus DMS 1515 Daimler Fleetline/MCW (THM 515M) was purchased from South Yorkshire PTE and converted into this novel bus, tube and NSE Class 321 ‘omni-vehicle’ capable of running on both road and rail. The conversion was undertaken by John Maher of Pine Films. This was a slightly more expensive visual theme than the Capitalcard plug had been!
After the filming of the ‘Supercar’ commercial the vehicle subsequently appeared in the Lord Mayor‘s Show, the Bus of Yesteryear Rally and Southend airshow in 1992 before being ‘retired’ to Fulwell Garage.
