(07 Apr 2016, 7:08 pm)park5354 wrote Scrap the branding on X35/X36, and use red GNE buses. Services that only run every 30 mins on Mon-Sat daytimes don't warrant branding. Only services that should be branded are those that run all day and on Sunday.
Exceptions could be made for services that provide competition, ie 18, X84/85 and services that provide a network, ie Indigo or Tynedale Links.
Lambton Worm & Fast Cats should be placed in the same bin as Kingfisher & The Pulse.

(07 Apr 2016, 7:23 pm)JP6004 wrote Then surely X35 provides competition between Sunderland Peterlee and hartlepool. I do agree that X36 doesn't warrant branding due to the low frequency and the fact it stops around 6ish.
Wasnt there something along the lines of if a route/network has a PVR less than 4 then they won't get branding...

Red GNE scania solars could be used on 33/39/X35 using Black Cats brand, that was destined for Cadets. This would allow Doxford services to be consistant.

(07 Apr 2016, 7:38 pm)Tom wrote Could get the 80 to Middle Engine Lane next to Smyths and get the 40 into Wallsend from opposite the Jolly Bowman so that is only once into Wallsend. Not much other way you could do it really unless you just got the 80 back to North Shields.

(07 Apr 2016, 10:02 pm)Michael wrote It does, it only runs between:
St Peters Campus – City Campus Travel Hub – St Peters Campus - Monday - Friday.
