It wouldn't surprise me if they always knew they would renumber the 27 to 8 (seems logical to have 8 and 9 on that bit going forward), but branded for 27 in the interim. The low key launch and lack of speed actually branding the buses suggests they didn't really want to push it as 27?
And one still has half of it it missing on one side!
