Whether a service gets BSIP funding isn't up to the operator - it's a Local Authority decision.
The LAs musn't believe that there is a general issue with towns/villages which have poor evening and weekend services or they would allocate BSIP funding.
Weren't the GNE 2A, 8, 20A, 27, 51/52, 93/94 evening/Sunday enhancements introduced with BSIP funding? - and the all year round Sunday service on Stagecoach X24/X34?
Doesn't the 24/36 frequency on the 10 mean that Prudhoe gets a more even service with the 10B than now? (currently 15/15/30 headway becomes 12/24/24) - and the 10A leaves Rockwood Hill at almost even 30 minute headway (28/32).
How would you work a 12 minute headway?
I'm assuming the operators (in this case GNE) have the brass neck to actually apply for the funding and aren't being approached by the LA/told to spend it on the likes of the 21.
