For those interested, I thought a thread for reporting which buses have been branded up in the Barkingside scheme may be of interest. If the admin feel it belongs in a different thread or doesn't belong full stop, feel free to move/close.
The following have been branded:
Route 128 - Purple - VLA132 (LJ05GPX), VLA133 (LJ05GPY), VLA134 (LJ05GPZ), VLA135 (LJ05GRF), VLA136 (LJ05GRK), VLA137 (LJ05GRU), VLA138 (LJ05GRX), VLA139 (LJ05GRZ), VLA140 (LJ05GSO), VLA141 (LJ05GSU), VLA142 (LJ55BTE)
Route 150 - Sky Blue - T169 (LJ60AUU), T170 (LJ60AUV), T171 (LJ60AUW), T173 (LJ60AUY), T175 (LJ60ATZ), T176 (LJ60AUA), T177 (LJ60AUC)
Route 167 - Blue - 36661 (SN17MME)
Route 169 - Green - 19778 (LX11BFZ)
Route 247 - Yellow - 17985 (LK53KBJ)
Route 275 - Pink - 10118 (LX12DDK)
Route 462 - Orange - 36640 (SN17MLK)
I'll update this list as people report.

I've heard T169 also now carries branding, any clue why they're doing the 368s allocation rather than the 150s own allocation?

Finally.. got to see the branded 275 in Walthamstow. For a while 10118 was avoiding me and still is, but then I saw 10121 and 10115 back to back. The pink does stand out on the black parts of the bus, like the tinted windows and the black coverings, however, not so much on the sides with the red background. Could not read the destinations as the buses were whizzing by and not at stops. Not as good as the 247 tridents.

Randomly got a leaflet through the post today titled 'A handy guide to catching a bus in your local area'. The leaflet opens up to have an A3 sized Barkingside Bus spider map. At first, I was confused then realised I live near St James Street where the 275 starts. Very unhelpful and confusing if you did not take buses to see Barkingside and numbers that dont go Walthamstow apart from the 275 ofcourse. I now know that I can catch the 275 to Walthamstow Mall, might try and visit that place. Just wondering if I have a leaflet and live in Walthamstow that means probably the area of leaflet distribution must be very very large and costly. Someone has not thought this through very well as is basical confusing to people not in Barkingside, which is the opposite of what branding was supposed to do.

The leaflet hasn't yet arrived for me but hopefully they should arrive in the next couple of days and also they should put these leaflets on the buses as well. |

The leaflet hasn't yet arrived for me but hopefully they should arrive in the next couple of days and also they should put these leaflets on the buses as well. One of the leaflets fell through my letter box yesterday. I am minded to send it to the Mayor with a letter asking why TfL are wasting money putting a Barkingside bus map through letter boxes in Waltham Forest and an address that is not on the 275. None of the routes closest to me are on the map so it's not remotely "local". The 275 isn't far away but it's not a priority route for my regular local trips. If you were clueless about the bus network then the map is very unlikely to help given its focus is Barkingside not Walthamstow. To add to the irony I am listening to a webcast where TfL are droning on and on about savings and here I am typing about pointless bits of paper landing through my letter box. You couldn't make it up.  |

Route 150 - Sky Blue - T169 (LJ60AUU), T170 (LJ60AUV), T171 (LJ60AUW), T173 (LJ60AUY), T175 (LJ60ATZ), T176 (LJ60AUA), T177 (LJ60AUC)
Guess what, it is going off on route 159 as stagecoach will no longer running this serivce from saturday 14th October. I hope the brands need to come off the side of buses before go on other routes?
Is Arriva buses will have a brand on buses of route 150 from Saturday 14th October?
Do anyone know?

Arriva already have the 150 and are starting a new contract on Saturday. |
