2/39 have literally just been removed from the common brand of Black Cats.

Yeah no arguments there, agreed with consecutive numbers either though mind. Either are just the same really.

Agreed agreed with multiple variations mind very confusing for a passenger especially the X1 which diverts in total different directions. I'm not a big fan of A's either when they're clearly two different routes 10/10A/10B, 28/28A, 47/47A in particular for GNE. Arriva are bad for it aswell imo 57/57A (both of them), 3/3A (Darlington), 17/17A (Stockton) are particular bad imo. The last having a split route aswell to make it even worse.
