It's not doing well from a tax payer point of view, it's no wonder Stagecoach like it, it'll be one of their most profitable routes. If it was doing well, it would be commercial. There's also a nice shiny bus station where people could interchange (if needed).
The 18/Q3 is a severe funding issue aswell, duplicating each other for 2 mile or so.
How do you know this? I was under the impression that it was a normal contract and Stagecoach were the lowest bidder just like any other...
