Riverside are just incompetent. They can't do branding right at the moment throwing 5 extra branded vehicles won't make any difference any way! It's deptford that would be stretched with 11 branded vehicles.
If you brand all of those services and totally ignore the route hierarchy, you may as well brand them all.
Brand them all, you reduce your red spares. You have even fewer options when it comes to allocations. You struggle.
Also means that branding loses its effect because you have services which are only just making profits which are branded. These couldn't justify professionally designed liveries either, so the quality of your brands is reduced.
Costs are increased because you'd be repainting older vehicles which would have otherwise been in a 'red spare' livery...
