I'm assuming this it's Best Impression stuff who just speal out the exact same stuff over and over again, I can swear I've seen that family before somewhere.

Even the network maps and timetables are near identical to Arriva's (from 2015) and Transdev ones. Like at least change the font as it just looks like everyone is copying off each other.

Yes the cove panels, timetable style, slogans on the rear, pictures of typical customers etc is petty much identical to Transdev, Trent Barton, Arriva Max, various other parts of Go Ahead, Reading, parts of First such as Kernow and Eastern Counties.., the list goes on.

“X Lines” is such a generic name it could literally be a network of express buses across Yorkshire and Lancashire operated by Transdev

It’s why I preferred the previous style and brands as although less polished than what Best Impressions do, it was more unique
