Hopefully another one follows soon, so no spares for the 56 I take it? Great more streetlites

That doesn’t sound sensible imo, having additional vehicles route branded just in case. It ties them to one route or they spend a good chunk of their time covering other routes while wearing the livery of another, causing confusion.

(29 Nov 2023, 6:47 am)Unber43 wrote It does, I agree with the idea as if you have branded buses out of the PVR theyll end up all over, but for such high PVR and demand routes such as the 56/10/X21&X10/21

Theyre always going to be loads of buses off the road espeically with the X21/10, at one point there was 9 TVT off, that could have atleast done with 1-2 branded spares

(29 Nov 2023, 11:22 am)ne14ne1 wrote Spares should be in corporate so they can cover any route without causing confusion.  

Most of these brands are only pleasing spotters & bus industry colleagues anyway.
The public simply want a reliable unified bus network.

How many (visible) Loop liveried vehicles remain now?

6159 is currently being done, and 6155/56 are already done.
