Anyhoo, they've signed a contract, they know the requirements, they should meet that contract and its requirements
TaxiBus is a different thing, looking on their own forum Nexus look to be aware of the limitations of the taxi bus.
Agree - someone asked a similar question on the Nexus Forums regarding Arriva using corporate liveried solos on Nexus Bus routes. The Nexus response being "We expect to see branded buses on the routes we pay for using public funds unless there are operational problems."
