Various external influences totally out of GNE's control and if Nexus or another operator stipulate GNE tickets can't and won't be accepted - then it will no doubt affect numbers on the 21.But the number of passengers connecting (changing buses) who have GNE only passes will probably be quite low - GNE will know how many, and have allowed for this in their proposed changes.
Where do they go from there? Make cuts to the 21 because the spokes have been removed?
It's probably a lower number than it was with the single fares now being reduced - plus some passengers will already have Network One tickets and about 25-30% of passengers will have ENCTS passes.
BTW the 21 is already reduced!! WAs every 7/8 minutes CLS-Newcastle and currently only every 10 mins; similarly, the Sunday service was every 10 minutes CLS-NCL, currently every 12 mins and being reduced to every 15 mins in the consultation.
