Service X20 - upgrade from Optare Solos to larger vehicles

Service X20 - upgrade from Optare Solos to larger vehicles

RE: Service X20 - upgrade from Optare Solos to larger vehicles
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.

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)

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