And I don't get how the timetables are still quite closely aligned.

Only losers are going to be the public unfortunately.

I'm still very surprised Arriva haven't taken advantage of BSIP like GNE & Stagecoach did for the 56, 21 and 1.....unless they're waiting for more new buses to turn up to prevent a s***show at the detriment of the wider operation perhaps.

Who's to say they haven't been?  Sounds like a unilateral decision, I struggle to see what Arriva or NECA have done wrong here unless there's more happened behind the scenes.

Agree though that the public are the overall losers in this.

Unless GNE are making money in their strongholds and decided they don't need the partnership as such?

Not going to lie but most times I've travelled through High Farm on both the 307 & 309, theu do always pick up well and quite often tend to run late doing so.

Go North East wanted to reduce the frequency of their services to some extent. That’s why they withdrew
