Luxury bus service Citylink Gold, which was branded by asdesignuk for its launch in June 2010, celebrates the first anniversary of its maiden voyage on Tuesday. The service offers luxury comfort and onboard refreshments and Wi-Fi on its links between Glasgow, Aberdeen and Inverness. See the branding and launch materials here.

As we get ready to hybernate for a week or so, we have just issued our first ever Christmas card, which depicts 2010… all wrapped up. Imagine, if you will, samples of printed work from the past 12 months (or so, we went back maybe as far as November 2009) wrapped lovingly around a gift box and tied up with ribbons and a big bow. Our way of saying “Thank you and Merry Christmas” to all of our clients, suppliers, colleagues and friends who have worked with and supported us in 2010… see you in 2011.

This is one of the brand new citylink gold coaches. The new bus, pictured at the press launch on Monday in Glasgow, is now on the road with full service launching tomorrow!

Today sees the official launch of citylink gold. The launch of the new service will be held at George Square, Glasgow on Monday 5 July 2010 at 10.30am. citylink gold will link Glasgow with Aberdeen and Inverness, offering journey times to match the train as well as free wi-fi and at-seat refreshments, with ticket prices starting from just £4. The new service is the latest offering from Scottish Citylink – a joint venture between Stagecoach Group and international transport group ComfortDelGro.
