Personally I think the owners are hoping demand drops when the new train line is opened later this year so they're just sucking up the criticism for now.
They're in the middle of a takeover, I suspect the current owners don't care. The little bits I've heard about the company taking over is they invest wisely in order to improve profits. They must have a plan and I doubt dumping areas which can make money like the North East will be part of that plan. The sooner it goes through the better as it is rotting badly now.
