"Route branded" ... I think the last route branded service in Widnes was the 66, right?
It's interesting news, definitely!

Branding for multiple service numbers often comes across in an unprofessional way, so I wonder whether Halton will put service numbers on the branding, and if so how they will do it.
The most common thing seems to be include something in the style of "26/A" in the branding, which for example Arriva uses on Southport services, but I think that forward slashes like that look scatty.
Probably the most polished look I've seen is from Stagecoach, with different numbers in linked 'bubbles', like on http://www.stagecoachbus.com/PdfUploads/...neaton.pdf

NB: fully aware that Halton managers don't have this kind of thing high priority, and wouldn't expect them to have either.

A fully branded and numbered Solo is currently in the corner of Caldwell Road yard. Got a couple of photos through the fence. Will upload this evening.
