(12 May 2023, 9:25 am)streetdeckfan It depends if the contract was profitable for them.
Perhaps getting stripped of the contract was the preferable option and that's why they made no effort to improve

To be honest, I do think there was some improvement on paper.
3 car 185's doubled-up, new rolling stock, extensions from Redcar to Saltburn etc.

However those commitments were made a long time ago (pre-pandemic), before employee and customer relations got worse.

Turning it around, improving those relations, improving staff retention and training new staff is quite a long-term task and they've clearly not achieved it.

Financially - no idea if it was profitable/worthwile or not.
It must have been at some point, otherwise they wouldn't have kept the contract/tendered for it repeatedly over the years.
