Last time i heart SC in Hartlepool's fleet are dying with mechanics trying there best. SC would probs give GNE Hartlepool and South Sheilds ops for the right money. imo it would be better for passengers.
GNE won’t go onto stagecoach routes , there have to work together as competition is dead in the water, especially when the bus companies have to pay share holders as profits comes first before passengers and the world has changed
Don’t know how true this was but a few decades ago as a was little at the time, but when stagecoach entered first territory in Scotland, first bus decided to fight back and started to mass loads of buses on land in Gateshead area to start running competition with stagecoach Newcastle, stagecoach pulled out of first territory in Scotland, I think this was only a few years after stagecoach purchased busways, maybe there some members on here might shed some light on this.
