Off peak the 23 is lightly used on this section, more than often the 23 & 24 land together at the Peterlee bus station.

I thought I'd replied to this at the time. Obviously didn't!
Can't see that happening myself. The market is theirs to lose now. To give it up like that, would be self-defeating. It's theirs now.
If they put prices up or start to reduce the service offer, they're leaving a gap which could be exploited by the likes of GNE returning in the future.
