Just give Arriva an ultimatum, we'll fund the Sunday service if you extend these at other times, decline it then put the 3 out to tender. I'm pretty certain what option they'll go for.

I'm pretty sure Arriva would decline the offer of funding a one day a week service in favour of them running six other days at a loss.

Don't disagree with your point though, for what they are spending, they could have done much more if they worked with Arriva, but by all accounts, this was a local councillor pushing agenda that simply went to tender rather than understanding opportunities.
