You should see some of the ways BN has removed them on at least one EA. Just removed the lettering but left the residue that still clearly spells out “a DB company”. Taking a few minutes longer to remove the residue wouldn’t have gone amiss. As with any bus that has vinyls to removed to be fair the paintwork has faded. Many Transport UK buses you can still see the print of the old logos. Did I write that the paintwork was faded because I don’t think I did. There was residual glue where the lettering had been poorly removed. Please learn to read. |

You could have been more specific and mentioned glue then. I get what you are saying now… More so the glue is very dry making it more difficult to remove has to be scraped off with something heavy duty. |

I don't think DT 11 was accusing you of saying the paintwork is faded, but TBH on most of the buses in these parts, they even still have the original Arriva logos with the "wheels", let alone the new ones. so the 'DB Company' will show unless someone at the Garage has some sort of label remover. I guess it will take time to do like all the fuel stickers did. Only the 76 LTs so far and Enfield's EMNs I believe in these parts. Perhaps the 318's ENRs will get a repaint as an excuse to get updated logos and look a little smarter  Aside from DWs and LTs and 3 HVs, everything else at AR has the original logo plus strapline |

Are they going to remove the text that says 'a DB company' ? I heard that the 76's routemasters don't have them! Whilst at work today I did notice a lot of LT’s on the 73 without the DB company logos |

Some others have also been removed from other buses recently. |

Yes it has a handful of times before, 123 usually sees the Walthamstow, Becontree Avenue curtailment when the traffic is really bad on the route or in the surrounding area i.e. a some sort of an incident along the A406. |

If you read my post properly I mentioned Watford. A shame, DW190 and DW191 were always good performers at TC and they took me home on the 194 quite often. I was a bit put out when then they were transferred to E but I got to ride them again on the 121 and 307 before they were finally withdrawn. |

View AttachmentLT600 having blinds for the 123, but whats even rarer is this destination. Has there been any occasions where buses curtailied to Walthamstow, Becontree Avenue? It was an infamous turn for the 275 under Arriva. Happened multiple times every morning. Although it was not really used to turn but go not in service and restart further ahead at Woodford Green. Has an LT been in service and used the roads around Hainault Street and the terminus for any route including schools, night and RR? I suspect I am forgetting one but cant think of any. |
