I instantly know which services the buses operate on without having to look up at the destination display which, not now in my case but certainly soon, would involve taking my eyes off the road if I was driving.I'm sorry, but in what world is X9/X10 more explanatory than Tyne Tees Xpress? Both main destinations nicely laid out, and the fact it's an express is clearly highlighted.

All three main companies get slated whenever they do something wrong, and in certain cases when they do something well! To say that only GNE get slated is simply untrue, and in some cases on here they get off lighter than Arriva and Stagecoach ever would.
