Not sure how feasible it would be, but tying something up in and around Grimsby/Scunthorpe and the demand responsive stuff they've got around there would tie in nicely with the EYMS work on the other side of the Humber.

Tie that in with the Stagecoach sale, potentially looking to get rid of some areas...

I think SC will leave Sunderland/Hartlepool. 

Potenially for GNE to have a massive takeover. As there are no links Between Sunderland and Hartlepool which makes really no sense.
