business practices of larger operators.' A bit like Venture, OK and Diamond did?
.Calvary for example, were (Im sure) around long before de-regulation and yes, they may have had experimental services (just like Northern, OK and Redby did and GNE do currently), but they also had settled services.
Redby were brought about just after the war - because they had some experimental services post de-regulation, does that mean they can't adorn any of GNE liveries in Sunderland?
Saying that, how far back do you go? Why not stick some of the vehicles into the old District colours?
