Yay! Everybody looses!
That's not what I'm trying to suggest, although it has happened on many occasions, Nexus or Councils usually step in to continue the service. Take the 87 and 88 from Stagecarriage for example, they got replaced by Stockton Council with a minibus, although the 271 service was withdrawn without replacement.
