However, when they do pull up to the stop with the destination showing Newcastle in nice big letters I don't get why then punters don't bother with it, even if the numbers change regularly and don't have a connection with the established 21.
With the numbering I suppose it is quite difficult to try and have them all tied together, for example the 28b is numbered as such to group it in with the Ouston and Pelton section of the route, so if you tried to renumber it to group in with the Low Fell services, it then loses its tie to the 28 and 28a.

I wonder if the blinds need to be clear where in Newcastle they're going?
Particularly if you're thinking back to the 1/1A/2 which didn't go anywhere near Eldon Square or the 24 which has had various routes around the town over the years and the 21 which has been pretty limited in comparison.
