I know they've got the local links but GNE offer far more outside of S.E Northumberland (Ten, Ttx, Angel, Red Arrows, NPower and if you miss the 19, 309/X39).Personally, I'd love to see GNE go into the area, as I'd like to see what Arriva could do in response. I'd assume not a lot.
I doubt GNE would, if they were to introduce routes, use anything more unreliable and tired than the 57-reg Enviro 400's.
