And then being to Newcastle today and isn't the operation by GNE just so much better than what we have down here on Teesside. New buses, branding everything about it.
See that you're conveniently leaving out the cuts to some of the Tyneside GNE services.
Putting a bus in service for a few hours extra per day also doesn't just cost "a couple of quid".
Again, I'm aware Arriva are far from a shining example of an operator, but majority of buses on Teesside are nowhere near retirement age, and Arriva's policy is (and has always been) to invest in large bulks rather than a smaller batch every year.
