The attitude to the use of 7 could be as a result of Alex Hornbys experience with Wellglade . For example two different 9s cross Trent Bridge in Nottingham, one a Kinch (Wellglade) service to Loughborough and the other a NCT service to West Bridgford. Historically service numbers clashed over Trent Bridge for decades as their was a NCT/West Bridgford 14 and a Barton 14 to completely different destinations. People were directed to catch a service by reference to the operator(s) and/or colour(s) and finally the route number or destination. Potential problems arouse after 1986 as their was for a short period two completely different blue East Leakes. Obviously with todays multi coloured route liveries and possibility for misallocation referencing a colour might be dangerous but red 7 and stripey white 7 may enter the lingo!

It will certainly be interesting! Especially as First are ditching stripey white for green and red citywide! Transdev may have to paint their buses white to avoid confusion.
