The same Arriva that provided full passenger and revenue data to Go North East and Stagecoach in advance of their cancellations, so to allow them both to decide if it was a viable option for them in order to maintain the network that they couldn't physically operate any longer?

That Arriva?

From the outside, it may appear to be wholly negative, but when you understand why, and what, it makes a lot of sense and all operators involved worked together to ensure something was maintained.

Dispute it as much as you want, but Arriva is probably the most financially stable operation in the region.

Whatever, im not gonna sit here and blow smoke up your arse and tell you Arriva is good when they happily waited til 2023 to effectively leave people stranded after their services remained the same for quite some time, and dont throw covid at me as an excuse,cus that isnt going to fly with me, fine for several years, then all of a sudden theyre making a loss, load of bollocks pal
