I think there will be underlying external factors which have influenced the drop over the 10 year period.
However, I do think the buck stops with the operators wherever the drop is.
As I said before, cutting and consolidating doesn't equate to more bums on seats.
It might save money (as in the case of the 81), but I can't see what logic would dictate that more people use what is left of it.
