It's interesting to see that petitions have started rolling in before winter, as we had earlier predicted!
The operators' responses in regards to vehicle type will be interesting.

£300 grand a bus - what on earth would they be buying for that sort of money !!!
Not much rumpus from the regulars yet on the withdrawal of the early and late 685 journeys to/from Carlisle and the withdrawal completely from Gilsland. No doubt it'll all come out in the wash in the next couple of weeks along with will a bus really run empty all the way from Newcastle to Carlisle 6 days a week as the timetable seems to suggest.
