Running different brands on different services can also be a good thing... it could let people know they have a service to the area they need,might even get a few new passengers... example can be yesterday when a "Wear Tees Express" was on the 33/33A/39.... how many people who used those services now know we have a bus to Boro or other than the X35 to Peterlee?.
