Nigel is really just trying absolutely anything at this point to not do a deal. Especially since he won't talk to January. It's really comical now how he's acting. My opinion so go in a huff if you don't like it
I can't see the majority of the public suddenly viewing GNE positively just because they are running a handful of routes for a small portion of the off-peak daytime. I think GNE deserve a bit of credit here - it would've been easy to just keep running basically nothing and while others are right this won't help workers, it will massively help some of the most vulnerable, socially isolated who rely on public transport to get to a bit of basic human engagement. Yes it's not much but this does come across to me as the first decent thing GNE have done in this sorry debacle.
