But this fall in numbers isn't a new thing.
I notice ANE and SNE have not as yet made the same amount of changes and they have older buses.
The pandemic is something easy to attach the blame to.
You're looking at an operator who has stagnated and not evolved to suit changing needs.
Cutting an early morning run or the back end of a route doesn't increase numbers and doesn't take in to account the changes in where passengers want to go.
