Whether passengers would understand the S71 or N71 is the same as the 71 and goes the same route as the 71, is another matter like.
Taking a example of service 71 between Seaham and Chester-le-street is a fully secured bus service , then it would be displayed as S71 for all journeys, with the local authorities doing a campaign about the prefix letter showing the public/passengers what bus services are being paid for with there taxpayers money which deemed not profitable for the greedy private bus companies who are there just for profit. Painting buses into Nexus livery for just doing secured work is just waste of money and resources since there probably end up on commercial services if bus companies are short etc…., private bus companies can’t even keep the right brands on the correct branded routes, GNE needs a wake up call and have a high percentage of fleet into a standard corporate livery and not vice versa, wonder how many passengers are confused with catching there bus service wondering what colour bus will it be
