If I am not wrong, BNDEP seldom use marker writings as perm
status nowadays. They switched to some with tapes, similar to
HG-style. Others used cut-out guides as status.
HGDEP also uses guides to mark perm status, other than stickers.
Written tapes are also used.
AMDEP uses the tape-writing style on some buses now (like
SBS2634J), other than the type-written stickers.
Correct me if i am wrong in anyway, but if my memory doesn't fail
me, the B9TLs from AMDEP and BNDEP don't use tapes or stickers to
identify perm status as well? [Spotted a lot of perm B9TLs without
those stickers under AM/BN services (i.e Sv 2, 7, 12, 21, 72,
76)]
