RE: Go Goodwins
Whilst most passengers who use the Little Gem services aren't going to be that bothered by what operator it is run by due to the tickets being used - personally I feel as though for Altrincham services they have been much better with nicer buses and greater customer support since they took over these tenders - it would be simpler to just stick to that branding now.

Little Gem was initially used due to negative reviews on their bus services (mainly caused due to delays out of their control) against the same name they shared with the coach brand. By keeping it separate branding (in a colour that differentiates to other operators) it makes it clear that it is a bus brand and that when you Google "Little Gem" it takes you to their bus website and social media profiles.

In regards to their coach adverts, it is good that they used this as it is not that much different to how Stagecoach advertise Megabus on their buses. The sad thing about it is that the use of the TVs aren't utilised on buses as I have seen old adverts for places elsewhere in the country for years ago.

As enthusiasts we will focus a lot more on registration plates, bus uniforms, smaller logos and ticket styles than the regular customer. As long as the bus is running, I can track it if it's running late and I can get a seat for a pleasant ride - which I haven't had these issues with Little Gem - then I can say they do better than other operators I have had to use.
