Garage i/d

[Richard Ratcliffe]

I notice that Arriva 6500 recently transferred from TW to M still carries the garage i/d "plate" TW on the rear nearside panel.  There was some discussion on here when TW started applying this i/d lettering to their vehicles which all seemed to be somewhat unofficial and has not been replicated around the other sites.  So I wonder whose responsibility it is to remove such lettering when vehicles are transferred to other operating  centres?  Not really "query of the week" but something of minor interest.  Those of us of a certain age look at this local initiative and wistfully think back to the M&D days and the excitement of finding a bus operating away from it's designated home!  Enabled categorisation as an "unusual working"
