As for the progressive reduction of the Coastline operation, I don't think you're accounting for the optimisation offered through the streamlining of network design. But, of course, if that doesn't support the view you're trying to peddle, I understand your omission. Would love to know how much money that Coastline operation haemorrhaged back in the day.
I'd you honestly think that there was a progressive reduction of the Coastline services then you are biased.
Unless it means tax payer having to fund a number of services to cover said network coverage and the highest car usage in the North East as buses are unusable.
I know I'm the worst person to say this but there's only one person with an agenda here and it's the one who's defending GNE at every level.
What's the excuse for them leaving half of Birtley without a bus service?
