Well since the 90's and early 2000's the buses in Central London had route branding all over the bus specially the Routemasters. Do you think TFL should bring back route branding?

Here is the gallery of buses with route branding.

London General RML2517 on route 11 by Ledlon89, on Flickr

Scania Arriva Grey Green 181 for Route 24

Should TFL allow operators to route brand their own fleet of buses allocated to the route?

I think if the branding returned the buses would look better than the current bland 100% red. However, if the buses strayed they'd confuse the hell out of people and TfL would drown in complaints.
Or they could just refuse to give BE and Metrobus branded routes. Problem solved

Unorm: VL-A is Victoria Line [replacement] (A), so on for other replacements, Circle Line [replacement](A), you get the drill

LondonConnect: New bids are up. Please contact me if you would like to do Rail Replacement and which line. And don't ask ML-A as that's already booked. Aug 10, 2014 11:30:52 GMT
