...but from a passenger point of view, I'm not too keen on it!

I didn't agree with the 38 using "Drifter" branded Cadets. The 38 was (and still is) an unbranded service; therefore, only "Northern" branded vehicles should have been used. Owing to it interworking with the 61, "Drifter" branded vehicles were used. I fired off an e-mail to Go North East saying it was illogical for this to happen, and if it's going to happen again, I'll be sure to send another angry e-mail off.
If timetable changes occur, branded vehicles should stay on branded routes. Many people on this forum alone are forever complaining about branded vehicles being used on branded routes incorrectly.

I've never been keen on the 26A using "SimpliCity" branded Versas. I can understand why they do it, but I disagree with it being done.

At the end of the day, if a timetable is to change, it should be a top priority to ensure that long waiting times at either end can be avoided, and the need to interwork with a different branded service is not essential.
