Given that Arriva is cutting much of the services that covered those links over the years, it's kinda telling of numbers although saying that, many of the links have been severed over the years making even just getting to some of the nearest towns/villages more hassle than its worth to even attempt.
Firstly which route did the X14 take, i've never heard of it.
Secondly, if an independent decided to run their own commerical services would anyone use them.
