New Brands for Old Routes
I was curious as to what brands old GNE bus services would fall under.
I'm presuming that the sunderland network circa 2002/3 would all fall under Sunderland District.

35/35A: Violet
37/37A: Emerald
126: Mandarin
127: Lime
133: Silver
134/138: Blonde
135/136: Peach
137: Brownie
139/140: Graphite
141/142: Berries
146: Aqua
150: Drifter
151/152/153: Blue
160/163: Sunshine
161: Cherry
164: Slate
190: Mint
220/222: Prince Bishops
