There's some interesting comments on this Flickr image:

I've kept quiet on these liveries on purpose.
I like them, I think they've done a good job doing them and from an enthusiasts perspective, I think it's a cracking idea.
There's a but coming...
But...
I don't get it from a non enthusiasts point of view.
There's no obvious ties to GNE and if I was a passenger getting on to a rail replacement, I'd just think I was getting on an independent operators coach.
There's no obvious reason to me, why this is being done.
Does there need to be a point or reason? It gives them an opportunity to be a bit more creative than they can on their usual vehicles, while paying homage to brands of the past.
At the end of the day, their coach operations are just something they do on the side, there doesn't need to be brand recognition the same way they do with public services.
