Maybe not a misallocation as such, but 1609 was running the 254 this morning (0715 - Leeds I believe). Also, a bit late, but last friday 1455 ran on the 627 Whitcliffe Mount School service.

Arriva Belle Isle new 126/7 branded Gemini 1528 on 444/6 this morning. Dewsbury based 1807 on 126/7 It seems the route branding on the Geminis is proving to be a waste of time already. There are sufficient other double decks and unbranded Geminis at Belle Isle now to not put the route branded ones on other services.

1508 (a leather seated gemini) on the 126 this morning and V218 PCX dart doing the 194 to Barnsley, I think the intended bus was 499 but it was taken down to the depot instead.

Arriva Belle Isle new 126/7 branded Gemini 1528 on 444/6 this morning. Dewsbury based 1807 on 126/7 It seems the route branding on the Geminis is proving to be a waste of time already. There are sufficient other double decks and unbranded Geminis at Belle Isle now to not put the route brandbed ones on other services. I agree, the average passenger couldn't care less what it says on the side, if they even look. However, some say it brings awareness to folk who may not know about the route, basically its an advert. I'm a believer that branding only works if done as in say Reading where to have a branded bus on the wrong route is a No No and just dosn't happen except in unavoidable circumstances. There, passengers readily identify their bus by its overall colour, but to achieve that you need dedication at all levels. At Reading the GM lays down the rules and the depot staff act accordingley, that's all it takes. However, with Arriva even this approach would break down with the amount of interworking on some routes.

Whilst strictly keeping to route branding might seem sensible theres always the problem of what to do when a bus fails to turn up - do you cancel the service if the only available vehicle is branded for a completely different service?
