The OK1 was axed due to growing ANE competition, which was followed by a competing express service Newcastle - Hexham which has seen passenger numbers drop massively on ANE's 685, and now this.
I'd expect GNE to bite back. They usually do.
How are they meant to bite back, though?
Must say, I reckon something will be done with the 685. Most of the passengers are OAPs, and it probably is making a loss.
