It's only when they try to board with a return ticket issued by a different operator (and get refused) that they get confused.

Oh! and the confusion was there when Arriva and Stagecoach were the sole operators of the 685 - back then the tickets weren't transferable (I believe that they are now).

Passengers stand at a stop and look at the destination blind - if it reads what they expect to see then it's 'their bus'.

Same as everyone wanting to ride them on Monday?, why you have the weeks ahead to do that!

We've stopped at every stop with people asking for Newcastle. Brand indoctrination working!
