I can't see a reasons why GNE couldn't have lumped the 25 and 28 a couple of year ago in with the Angel brand as an "Angel connect" sub brand in order to get some rub. Even if it just meant painting the Optares that sickly green colour!
People on a corridor that has a frequent service rock up and are conditioned to get the newer, more frequent colourful bus vs the older, smaller less frequent one.
They rock up and don't look at the timetable.
It's marketing that works for the 21 and 56 but has a negative knock on effect to owt else that is unfortunate to run a minute or two in front of it. Just look at the withdrawal list and funded services that's fallen out of it.
However, that's no excuse for NEXUS not to show all the routes combined in to Newcastle either. There is no logical reason why the 21, N21, and 25 should be on seperate panels on the displays. Non whatsoever. Its lazy plain and simple. The systems are pretty easy to set up...
