The 3/3A/3B are only a combination from the town centre to Skerne Park giving the "required" frequency. But each individual section operates half hourly on the other side of the centre ie the 3 to Mowden, the 3A to Harrowgate Hill and the 3B to Fitzwilliam Drive, where there's no correlation or common ground other than the sub route number. This gives a strange juxtaposition of making half hourly services qualify for the "Frequenta" brand, not easy to explain away.
Also, the 9/10 continues to be made up in strength by the 13xx series Darts. Are they too for the branding (bet they wouldn't dare!) or will they just be another anomaly in the system?

It is a bit rubbish having 'frequenta' on the 3/3A/3B when parts of the routes only have a bus every half hour.

Did wonder about the Darts and I highly doubt they will become 'Frequenta' and it will look rather terrible if they continue to make up a large amount of the allocation on the 9/10 especially as I think Frequenta buses will have WiFi and I highly doubt they will bother fitting WiFi to these old sheds. One problem is if you don't put the Darts on the likes of the 9/10 what can you put them on, you can only really have them on the 8/8A and they were previously allocated to this service but I imagine part of the reason they were booted of this service because they were rather unreliable and other than the 8/8A they can only really be used on services that will fall into the Frequenta brand.
