Interesting the livery includes the route number.
I’ve previously said when some morning Xlines services are covered by different coloured Xlines buses, there’s no route number on the livery to indicate the destinations listed on the side are not actually the ones that service will call at ...if that makes sense. Eg a yellow Xlines bus covering on a green Xlines service.
According to bustimes.org, 5331 is out on the 56 today.

And heres me thinking the false ticket machine reports had stopped. Person behind it must have been on holiday.

I actually quite like the fact they don't have the route number on them, it makes them generic enough that they can be run on the 'wrong' route without too much confusion (are we allowed to mention that word anymore  Tongue)
I hope the Citaros are being refurbished with the new red seating.

Such a shame, the Citaros have the worst seats in the fleet

Thank you for your update and pic.  I think I rode one of that batch in 2017 on route 57.

The Ex London B7s and B9s have worse if you've been on those.
