Default Letters at bus stops

Our local stops have recently received letters. Those round the

Bricklayer's
Arms roundabout have two letter codes beginning "B" (BC, BQ etc);

further
down the Old Kent Road, the prefix is "E" for stops towards New Cross

and
"W" for those heading into town. I'm assuming this is for East and

West.

These codes currently serve no function whatsoever - the area isn't
spider-mapped, and there isn't even a "where to catch your bus"

poster. Does
the appearance of these letters mean that maps like these are likely

to
appear soon, or could there be another reason?


I noticed this in Hampstead a few weeks ago. Only problem was, the bus
stops were lettered on the posts, but numbered on the little maps on the
stops. So I got totally confused! Only place I've noticed this though.
