Obviously not an option with LO, as the fleet is mostly shared between

Shared over a week, but are there any shared diagrams? Is there any
downside to having mostly dedicated fleets with a few spares in
corporate livery?

I haven’t noticed it so much recently, but Edinburgh used to have quite a


lot of dedicated buses with the route number included in the livery as well


as on the indicator blinds.

London too... Route 13 springs to mind

That was a special service though. IIRC 13 was the only route left with
Routemasters on it. If however you're a bus company with multiple routes
and a general fleet of buses, painting specific route numbers on the sides
doesn't sound like the smartest idea for obvious reasons.


Quite a lot do it though.


Yes, I find it a bit odd tbh as it must limit vehicle flexibility
considerably.
