Were those decisions to fill the gap short-term though?
In the case of Spirit, they have cited the extension of the X20, the re-routing of the X15 and a change to the X14 as factors.
This sort of thing may be short-term (or permanent), either way it is having an impact on the likes of Spirit.
however there are some advantages not with the x14 but with x18 and x20 as both route now go to alnwick. and this does mean more people using Travelsure's 472 service I as recently been seeing quite a lot. but as previously posted there are a higher level of disadvantages for business's and passengers
