Questionable piggy backing on the simplygo branding imo

2 likes on the Facebook page and 2 on Twitter, it all looks a bit pie in the Sky.  Not necessary rural need like Spirit but a case of 'Service Suggestions'

http://www.simplygo.com/conditions-of-carriage/
http://www.simplybuses.com/conditionsofcarriage.html

The content on these two web pages looks very similar.

(16 Feb 2015, 6:55 pm)GX03 SVC They are expecting to start services in late-2015.

Looks like they missed the expected start date!

Wonder if it's possible that he could even bid for some of the tendered work in County Durham, especially as the suggestion for service 80 does sound broadly similar to the supported service 58 Durham - Hartlepool (Durham - Kelloe section of the route) which is currently run by Scarlet Band and the contract for this service should be up for renewal around June sort of time next year.

If they want to help people why don't they tender to operate the 58 on a Sunday.
If rumours are to be believed DCC will no longer be subsidising any bus services in County Durham.
Scarlet Band have hinted they may be able too run the 58 commercially day time only.

They'd have to cover it from bus pass reimbursement, then, because whenever I've caught it, we've been pretty much the only fare paying passengers.

Also what's left of the BSOG grant it used to make the different of a service making a profit from a loss.
