So therefore with that being said you have a Brand Connection of the "Prince Bishops" which spans across the whole of County Durham in which both the 20/20A and the 50 serve a large chunk of, but you also have the points of Terminating being the same also, cant see why two different Services cant operate under the same Brand Name just because the middle section of the route is different, heck GNE could bring back the "Swift" variation of the Prince Bishops to promote the quicker service 50, ohh and perhaps if it would work providing drivers wouldnt go over the amount of hours they allowed to drive legally, you could have the 20/20A/50 inter-work like the old X20/X50 used to do back in the day.
You've hit the nail on the head.
