Especially, in the East Cleveland Area. I imagine the management team have looked at that option but I imagine costs can't be ideal and Arriva would probs block it.
Arriva, or any other operator for that matter, have zero power to block the registration of a new bus service.
The only person who can say no, is the traffic commissioner.
