GNE provide a higher frequency, so it makes sense for them to charge slightly more, as passengers who need that will be willing to pay it. Arriva have lower fares for adults, child fares are the same, and people were complaining about their fares?!
I don't consider a £1.30 saving worth the risk of having to wait around ES for half an hour or more if an X12 breaks down or doesn't show for other reasons, which isn't uncommon. IdI rather pay the £6.30 for a castles express daysaver or a little more for a blue and green one if I know there's likely to be problems on the roads, as that then adds in the possibility of travelling home via Stanley, (X30/31 then 16/A) which can be quicker than a snarled up 21.
