It is one of my pet hates.
I'm begining to lose track of the number of times a subsidised service suddenly becomes viable, when another operator wins a tender.
Granted, we are seeing fewer services being supported by public funds as a result. However how much money has been handed out in the intervening period - prior to a service suddenly becoming viable?
I wonder if investigations need to be carried out? An audit of takings and loads, with the threat of financial clawbacks may result in a few twitchy bums!
