Is there a misprint where Mr Gilbert is quoted as
‘Despite the extra cost to us of running these additional buses’ should read ‘Thanks to the opportunity to make a shed load of money’?
I don’t blame GNE for chasing a commercial opportunity, actually surprised they’re not looking at more corridors, but they shouldn’t dress it up like they’re coming to save the day out of kindness.
Stagecoach Teesside are helping in a true sense by accepting Arriva tickets. Though I imagine Arriva will compensate them they could refuse to help and try to poach the customers long term by advertising discounted season tickets in the run up to a strike by a competitor...
