GNE have proven that they can only go so far with no investment. Worst case if GNE lose work with franchising, send any decent vehicles to the Bee Network (if GNW win anything) or to Brighton, Oxford or East Yorkshire.
Aye, difference between Stagecoach and Arriva though is they don't have much outside the franchised areas, Arriva in particular.
I'd say Stagecoach has been investing more outside the franchised areas though. Stockton and Inverness are two areas which have had massive investment.
Btw you should check out Manchester, Stagecoach were really credited for going out on a high. GoNorthWest couldn't be any further away from it and we've got the same clown in charge up here.
