And of course, its nonsense to say there was never enough market share. The Coastline operation used to be pretty extensive across the borough and was cut back and back over time.
Rather rich that you're suggesting I'm biased - in making an objective assessment situated in historical context - whilst you simultaneously perpetuate some visceral narrative of abandonment in an oversaturated market.
As for the progressive reduction of the Coastline operation, I don't think you're accounting for the optimisation offered through the streamlining of network design. But, of course, if that doesn't support the view you're trying to peddle, I understand your omission. Would love to know how much money that Coastline operation haemorrhaged back in the day.
