I have a vague memory of Insight being one of those school tour companies, so I suspect the coach is in their colours rather than it being another of the deregulation era stupid names, although I agree with your general point.
Of course, when it comes to OTT marketing names replacing the company name Go North East must be the current "winners" with route branding using names such as 'Whey-aye Five-Oh' and 'Live it, Love it Sunderland'...
The managers of the old Northern General combine would be looking on in utter disbelief.
Good job Go-Ahead isn't in Yorkshire then as they would have a great time with their "aye by-heck" lingo lol. I mustn't knock Go-Ahead too much I topped up buying their depressed shares hoping to make up my loses on the last lot.
