They're my 'favourite' mainly because they go to the places I want to go, they have the nicer fleet (in the places that I want to travel, at least), and are the cheaper option.Is GNE being “the cheaper option” one of their problems, cheaper fares mean that you need more passengers to cover your costs - and almost all the proposed withdrawals cite “not enough passengers to cover the costs”.
I live in what is primarily Arriva land, and do use them somewhat regularly, and I generally have no issues with them. They turn up when they're supposed to, and actually tell me if the service is delayed or cancelled, unlike GNE who just leave me wondering if they're going to turn around at Bishop or not if they're running the slightest bit late.
