The operators of a Liverpool Beatles tour risk being ordered to
remove pictures of the band emblazoned across the side of a bus in a row
over the copyright.
The Fab4Bus tours takes visitors on a sight-seeing trip around The Beatles' home town but has raised a few eyebrows since it was launched in Liverpool a month ago.
The bus carries an image modelled on the "Beatles For Sale" album cover, and the band's logo from the bass drum appears on the back of the bus.
Its operators, ACE Travel, have already removed a Cavern Club logo from the bus after the Cavern's manager Dave Jones saw red.
But ACE Travel director Alan Denson defends the use of Beatles images and insists his service makes a valuable contribution to the city's growing tourist trade.
