In my opinion the 353 and 354 should be fine in the longer term...
Out of interest, makes you think the 37 and 38 are more desirable to customers than the 352 and 355?
It can’t be frequency, as both operators are providing services every half an hour (albeit GNE’s being co-ordinated with other services).
I have asked on a number of occasions now as this seems to have been said multiple times, and nobody has been able to give me an answer. As far as I can see, Stagecoach’s offering is less desirable during the day (does not serve Haymarket, replacement for the 55 taking a longer route via Freeman Hospital instead of being a direct bus into town, lengthy layover in Forest Hall) - the only real advantage is that they are providing an evening service (funded by Nexus).
