I think one of the 230's terminates at Horden on an afternoon, I guess this service interworks with its Easington School obligations.

As for Snowdons, they had 7 Murton-Easington runs for years, before I moved to there in 1995, still doing it when I left in 1998 and tbink they still had it till as recently as last school year

Companies do that all the time. Sometimes they will bid for a load of contracts then take on the most remunerative contracts and dump the rest, up to what they reckon they can handle. Sometimes you'll see companies operate contracts for a few weeks then when they realise they've bidded too low, they'll dump them!
