Red Kite Ranger
I think my favourite rebrand was when Starburst reverted back to being Opal Fruits for a short period last year.

Doesn't count. Needs to be 2021.
I haven't a clue if the list above is correct, nor the inclination to check, but if that illustrates just the rebrands alone my head hurts.

There's been way to many this year

6 of them either haven't been done or were done in 2020. I imagine they also playing catch up from last year too. A lot of them are only single vehicles too

Yea but still. There's been way to may repaint this year

Probs because of 2020 + the backlog.
I also quite like the Durham Diamond
I'd say QuayCity. It's a unique branding. Different to other brands and fits the Versas very well

Its absolutely awful!

Xlines, in any variety, I'd say are head and shoulders above the rest. Though the new Orbit and East Durham Explorer are probably the best ones I've seen so far.

Hands down the "Tynemouth 100" Heritage Livery on 6101 for me followed up by the "Voyager" Liveries.

I would like to see on "Northern Coaching" side of things more "Retro" Liveries such as "Wear Buses" rather than just sticking to one in particular.

How's QuayCity awful. I'd say in my opinion Orbit is the worst

Why is Orbit the worst?
My favourites are

east durham explorer 
Connections 4
Or Connecter Shuttle or Sunderland Shuttle.
