I see RATP logos have appeared on some london buses. Never thought I'd see
that! When did this happen?

B2003

Is that not the same group that now run Manchester Metrolink trams?

RATP took over Transdev buses in London last year.

First noticed the current London United/RATP branding around April this
year on routes 10,65 & 94, haven't noticed it on the heritage
Routemasters on the 9 but no doubt it's on them as well.

Can you imagine if the TfL roundel appeared in paris? They'd probably
be blocking the roads and burning effigies of Boris.

About April I think, after RATP acquired London United.

Yes, and many other transport operations worldwide.

I'd be amazed if there aren't /any/ in Paris. I've seen LU-esque
roundels (which presumably TfL's laywers and their pointy sticks haven't
found) in Bratislava and Budapest amongst other places.

That's not the end of the foreign takover. Abellio buses carry the
Dutch railway (NS) logo.

Though Arriva buses don't carry the [DB] logo. Yet.
