I do wonder though if GCT/Nexus have an employee who has worked for both working higher up whose pulling strings for the contracts to always be awarded to the same operator as their does seem to be some bias towards other operators, you'd think they split service work more evenly amongst the independent operators so each get an equal share of whats available.

It’s dangerous for Nexus to load so many contracts with wafer thin margins onto one operator. Should GCT come into difficulties, financial or operational (public enquiries) they could very suddenly be without operators for a lot of routes. The GHA collapse was very damaging for tendered routes in Cheshire, North Wales & Shropshire.
