I'm not sure it's been noted in all of the excitement that this is all of the Nexus service work at TGM Classic gone... Obviously they still have schools and other misc workings but these are also up for tender this summer, so I am fairly certain we know the answer to what's happening now.

To see what I've been talking about... I've taken the timetable from the Nexus tender document for the 37/73 - I don't know how it has been split up though.
By the looks of it, Compass have registered a timetable change to the 37, and cancelled service 73. GCT have also registered service 37, so whether that includes the 73 as well in one registration who knows?? The R3/R4/R6 would appear to all be on one registration.

(04 Jun 2014, 7:00 pm)Dan Depends.
I think they could withdraw a few (and indeed I predict they will, to allow for Olympian withdrawal later this year) but not all - due to the fact there are drivers who (currently) drive scholars every day and that's about it.
The loss of services perhaps makes room for drivers to become redundant - not something which GNE wants to happen.
