Yea the 21, 24/7 did do what it says on the tin. However so such a high profile, high frequency route, I dont see that happening, nor would I want it to
The pink was of its time shall we say? Not helped by the disastrous omincity allocation.
It’s high profile but it’s also probably the only route that doesn’t need advertising. Its on a lucrative corridor, there’s little competition and it links the regions 2 major cities via rich commuter belts, working class heroes and lots of pubs (sorry Sunderland but well...Sunderland) It’s the ‘hoover’ of buses. I’ve yet to meet anyone who uses it call it the Angel, but you could probably say that for most branded routes.
