Spotters would have a meltdown though. The other 99% of the population however wouldn’t batter an eyelid or give two hoots. 

The GP would actually probably be happy as it means they could regulate buses like Arriva do at Durham, Blyth and Jesmond so instead of curtailing services short at Gateshead which is impossible to do when you have 50 different brands you just swap buses on what route they're using their layovers. For example if a X46 is 10 minutes late coming into Consett but there's an X70 sitting there for 10 minutes you send out the X70 bus on the X46 and then by the time the X46 comes in it's on time for X70. Could easily be done at Consett, Sunderland, Gateshead and Newcastle for example.

I know the X7/X8/X9 and 308 quite often do it at Blyth as they both have a bit of a layover. Similar with pretty much everything at Haymarket, the 306, 52, 54, 43-45 all regularly swap around.
