I don't even know if Stagecoach made a bid. The Nexus 32A is always either Arriva or GNE as far as I know. Some of Stagecoach's less profitable routes are part-funded by Nexus, but it's less noticeable when all Stagecoach bus services are the same, Nexus supported or not, compared to another operator getting it, so maybe they were awarded the Nexus 32/32A in the past.
I like the GNE 32A, with nice Streetlites and NSAs, but sadly it only runs at times I don't usually go anywhere.
No idea why GNE don't have the 32A on their website, like every other Nexus Bus service. They didn't even list the service as running or not during the recent adverse weather.
