There is no denying the 39/39A are quite low used during the day, but they seem to make enough money to make a profit, no matter how much it is still a profit.

Part of the BSIP is to stop stuff like the 33 though. We don't know if they're making a profit though they've been getting bailed out by the government for the past couple of years now. Wouldn't be surprised if they're not though.

I have a feeling they'll mess around with the 2/2A/39/39A and make 3 30 min services out of it eventually and also potentially bolt on the Washington end whatever is the best of the Washington locals and make a route out of them or they'll just give the lot up like in North Tyneside. I don't think anyone expected the 11 or 19 to go altogether, the 42 wasn't really a surprise though.
