Example Sunday allocations just because the 61 & 2/A are interworking people were complain even though its no big deal yet the arriva 6 interworks with the 22/24 on a Sunday yet noone makes a fuss about that. Or people complaining about a lack of timetables yet arriva have no timetables or stagecoach have a lack of timetables.
The 6 and 22/24 are less noticeable in fairness, they’re all Sapphire branded.
A better comparison would be with most of the work out of Arriva’s Stockton Depot, which, if it is still the same as it used to be a few years ago, saw drivers keep the same bus for the duration of their duty (if my memory serves) resulting in Frequenta, Max and Sapphire buses all being muddled up.
The point remains though, it makes things confusing having wrongly branded buses out in service on evenings and Sundays and in the main it doesn’t happen all too often at Go North East nowadays. There’s specific examples where it needs to for operational reasons, in order to maintain the same level of service as is being offered with the wrongly coloured bus.
