How effective is the branding on Trent Bartons patch, does it work well
I believe so, yes.
From what I've seen/heard, it works quite well in the sense that you very rarely see branded vehicles on the wrong service, but if there are not enough branded vehicles and/or spares, the services simply do not run. Go North East wouldn't let that happen - they'd run it with the wrong branded vehicle.
