I first became aware of it in the summer holidays when I was down Chester.
Pretty certain it didn't last long at all.
if I remember correctly that Ok Travel gived into GNE shortly afterwards, I remember that GNE gived Ok Travel a hammering along the 160/161 route between Sunderland and Herrington with the 61 every 15 minutes running in front of the Ok travel 160/161, 61 route stopped at Hetton-Le Hole from Sunderland.
Cant remember them competing in those areas, but I never had the need to be over that way then.
I remember the giant brown dashboarded Optare/Dafs that OK had going that way in rhe late 90s and Redby working a bus through Success to New Lambton
