HJ16HSG
HJ16HSN

No vinals have yet been applied so no confirmation of fleet numbers i'm afraid.

Multi million pound PLC bus operator decides there's not enough money in it. So old man funds bus route.
If there's anything that sums up bus operations currently, I think this sums it up in a nutshell.

Morebus has registered a basic service over the core of its routes.

There’s no issue of anti-competitive monopolistic behaviour when the threat of competition in an open contestable market is ever present. And so it proved.

Why the attacks on LA run bus routes, when it was the free market that ruined it?
Why the fascination (almost obsession) with GAG taking the routes over short term and his insistence on them being the right party previously?
