Why make things complicated - all I can see in Tommy's suggestion is a simple renumbering, which is easy to communicate to the passengers. Your backwards step would just confuse people and likely make the Ashington Sapphire the worse performing of the branding by actually losing trade! How many times - today it's about simplicating networks (hence the current ongoing consultation on Teesside to simplify the Netherfields services).
But neither do you? If you were such a commercial wiz yourself, then you'd be getting head-hunted by bus companies left right and centre.
Davey's ideas may be a bit OTT, but at least he's taking the time to think them out, and trying to put some justification behind it.
