How many different brands have there been in the last few years?

Yeah totally agreed and it helps imo as it means people know what they're getting but with some tweaks here and there to help people get around; 22 to Cobalt for example. Obvious some would say they're stuck in a network from 10 year ago which is probably true aswell and don't go where they want to go but it's a risk changing things as if it goes wrong then people won't be too keen to return.

It'll be interesting to see what happens in County Durham if similar cuts are made as the council down there aren't as open as subsidising things as Nexus are in general.
