Number 5 bus is now 205?

Hi. The other day I noticed a bus with #205 on it. I though it may have been a relief bus or something. Someone else said the number 5 is now to be known as 205 and the number 8 will now be known as 208 etc. What on earth is this nonsenses in aid of?

It's all explained in a thread in the forum from a day or so ago. They've always been the 205/210/207, they just used the last 2 digits for local purposes. It's to aid in the switchover to the realltime bus displays being rolled out soon.

Missed the Blackrock bus the other day. Thought it was a country bus.
