(18 Oct 2021, 7:12 pm)Dan The PVR of the 38 is 1, so yes, one bus is branded.

It wouldn't have been better having the 33 and 38 in one brand, because the idea behind the new Sunderland network was that each service had its own individual colour.

Recognising the operational need for interworking, it would've made more sense to have not branded the 62/X6 (or branded them as something non-area-specific if the corporate livery isn't favoured) as it does really undermine the principle above having purple buses branded for a local Peterlee network runnning on a "blonde" route in Sunderland's east end.

The 59 only runs on Sundays, they are hardly going to brand a service that runs one day a week!

Maybe Because it was a Sunday service which did 4 round trips.

Albeit on the Prince Bishops

Two more of the six serviceable branded Graphites. The scribble shows up perfectly - when the sun hits it straight on. I don't care for broadside photographs, so being a three quarter angle photographer, you wont see much of this silvery grey scribble.

What has confused me so much. Watching a video on the NSA. Why branding it Sunderland District when the NSA just mentions the end part. Take example from the NSA video. It says this is the Berries 2A service or this is the Graphite 38A service

I like how you picked that up and not the fact that it announces Silksworth incorrectly. "This is the Berries 2A service to silk worth"
