I don't have a problem with what Nexus are doing in practice - I still think they are appallingly run (along with the Joint Transport whatever it is) 

The risk with all of this is they cut existing services because nobody uses them (fair enough) but is that because the existing service doesn't meet the needs of anyone and is unchanged in large parts since the 00s

I've some faith that a commercial operator will look and say - ok, nobody is travelling to Cobalt 5 days a week anymore and barely anyone at 7 or working 9-5, I'll reduce those services and work with Cobalt to understand when employees are in the office and if we can incentivise the travel with the companies based there and target services accordingly. Nexus won't do that.
