GNE have been probably the most vocal in their opposition, although Stagecoach have gained more mainstream publicity with their threats I would say.
Nigel Featham from Arriva has also written some articles in the trade press quite recently. Balanced and well written, in my opinion.
There is a bit of a lull in the whole debate at present whilst the Councillors make their minds up. March (I think) is decision time.
