Obviously Doxford Clipper is still about (just), the Team Valley Clipper didnt last long. Just remembered the Cobalt too.
Was there any other services which fell into that brand or was it just those three?
Just those three. As for 'Team Valley Clipper', that arrived in early 2009 (I think), so it lasted at least a good three, (nearly four) years

Same with the Sunderland-Newcastle X2 - many pink Omnicities - although I think the X1, X2 and X3 all interworked at that point?
