If Crook moves as a result.....well two answers from my viewpoint. Employee's head hopes it doesn't, because my fuel bill will rocket.
Enthusiast's head hopes it doesn't, because it's nice to see a bit of variety in Bishop, and as long as we are based there, we will always be a worry to Arriva (which amuses me-I bear a very large chip on my shoulder regarding the way I and others were treated when Bishop closed), and I do think there is still potential to expand in Bishop and the surrounding area. Arriva clearly think that, hence they increased the frequency on the 6 and 46. GNE do play their cards very close to their chest - we only officially found out Crook was opening about 6 weeks before it did, despite planning going back way, way further than that.
To answer Aureolin, there are 16 drivers currently based at Crook....
If coaches do move to riverside it defently would be a good move, least then chester will have spare room within the depot, i do hope crook stops open though, GNE should start a trail route around the area, never know it may work.
