WTX have struggled since day1 whereas Pronto seems to be a fairly newish problem, I used to regularly use the X20 (when it was a regular service under the pronto brand) and the buses didn't seem to struggle too much really.
I think new midi buses were needed hence Venture was upgraded. Although I don't know why this decision was made, I can assume that it must be one of the most profitable routes, I think Versas in the next few years (should they become available though cascades will make their way onto East Durham).
Completly agree, I like to figure out and look out how these companies think, Overall Its the profit that counts, making sure everything works to a good standard, and the customer is happy. Just think its interesting in the past 10years how Go north east operate with the routes and liveries, very interesting compared to alot of other bus companies.
