Since the new contract started, there have been orange/red, orange/white (Little Gem) and blue liveried buses on the circuit.
I know the punters can be thick, but they seem to be managing OK.

Yes because it's not like there's any routes where two operators run on the same route. I'm sure when GHA ran the duplicate 45 and 82 services their drivers were happy to accept WBT and Routemaster tickets because the route number and destination matched. I'm also sure Diamond drivers will be more than happy to accept Arriva and Stagecoach tickets on routes where they run evening contracted journeys won't they? After all in your words the passengers would be thick if they think there's two different operators on the same route just because the branding of the vehicles is different, so presumably you'll also brand the Diamond drivers as thick if they rejected tickets issued for a different operator on the same route?

BTW there's also two route numbers for the contract so unless the machines print 391/392 then the number a passenger catches on the outbound journey may not be the same as the one on the vehicle they need to catch for the return journey.
