Not all Boxing Day services are subsidised by Nexus. Only some are, and this number seems to reduce year on year.
Indeed; this year we will see Go North East services, which have previously been subsidised, operated on a commercial basis! How come Go North East can see a commercial opportunity when the usual operator, Arriva, seemingly cannot?
I honestly can't understand how one operator manages to make a nice profit out of operating some services on a Boxing Day, and increases their PVR year on year to improve services, yet the other two big boys seem to struggle.
