Some bright spark in marketing must have thought it sounded good , but sounded quite tacky.

'Le Bus' was something to do with the City of Culture thing back in 2003. It orginally appeared on Bootle based darts for the 53 and may have also been used on the then Huyton based ones used on the 6/7. It then appeared more widely in 2005/06 on the Speke based B10BLE's on the 79, Commander's on the 74 to 77 group of services and the deckers used on the 82/86 before gradually fading away by about 2009/10. Hope this helps.
