Our lot would be up in arms at even the thought of such thing, and I assumed that's why they've in the past chosen to operate low cost units from outstations...
The original Bargain Bus was out of Percy Main IIRC. I suppose the 'sweetener' of fewer lates/weekends may well suit some people. Not new income for GNE, but new income for Percy Main I guess.
On one hand it makes sense have the Whitley Bay locals operating out of Percy Main, I think coupled with the loss of other Nexus work and the murmurings about Quaylink it's an interesting time for Saltmeadows.
