North East Xpress
- X10 & X21
CityLink
- 21, 56
Coast Road (unsure what brand could be)
- 306, 307, 308, 309
CityRider (current Voltra routes)
- 53, 54, Q3
Everything else corporate!
I wouldn’t touch the Angel brand, I very much doubt it drives up custom and it’s just busy because…well it’s the 21 but Citylink is a meaningless brand and I’d chance the majority of the traffic is point to point locally (low fell to Gateshead, Birtley to Chester etc)
There’s a reason it’s stayed untouched since GNE inherited the number off Classic following the bus wars. It’s the prized possession, don’t touch it.
Ps did we ever find out who ordered the omnicites on the 21 and were they publicly flogged outside Global Video in Chester le St and then banished from the industry for sheer incompetence as punishment ?
