They have a national model and they continue to make square pegs fit into round holes, wherever they look to operate. There's no attempt to even try and encourage people out of their car, unlike GNE for example, who have continued to innovate over a number of years and try new things. The new buses and spec on the X30, in my opinion, being a really good example.
Not sure that's a fair statement. If the offer of new buses on the X30 is a really good example from GNE, how are the similarly spec'd similarly new buses Stagecoach have just bought for the 39 & 40 demonstrating no attempt to even try?
