The Red Kite/Coast & Country are a different kettle of fish. I'd imagine GNE would expect to see growth in return for their investment on both brands, and therefore I think they'll launch them. I had thought they may consider launching both services together at Consett, with individual launches elsewhere on both routes.
I agree re X66 but seen as its new buses and they've had them a while and been branded a fair few days now, why hold them back. I really dont understand what the delay is?
