Passenger numbers would need to have more or less doubled for GNE to break even on the reduced fares, and they clearly haven't as almost every change on the consultation says "....do not carry enough customers to cover the costs of carrying them".

I suspect that passengers would be happy to pay fares closer to the old ones to keep the services running, rather than cheap fares and no service (or reduced service and/or the need to change buses mid journey).

I wonder if the X1 and 20/X20 will have good connection times in Houghton?
and will GNE sort out the poor headways that they have all over the network - it will be really bad if, with fewer buses running, the ones that remain all run close together.
