February 2023 changes - Retro Nero - 09 Jan 2023
I do believe service 65 is going every 30 minutes to interwork with the 20A and retimed across the route, but there's been no mention of rebranding the 65, they will just be operated by prince bishops I would imagine

As for branding, I'd ditch both Durham Explorer or whatever it's called and Prince Bishops (those Streetlites could do with a refresh) at the same time and have it all corporate livery. This may help build up GNE is a brand rather than diluting it with pointless branding which at this point, has been over done.

Apparently there are no more repaints or touch up branding happening in the near future , so maybe just an updated cant rail to show maybe Langley Park ( service 20).

Not even repaints into Corporate livery?

Probably GNE realised at present it costs too much money to keep branding buses

As if so eventually their will be buses in just base colours. Especially around the sides
