GNE are not immune from competition and they need to up their game on their existing services and get their ducks in order rather than attacking SME operators.
I hope that if GNE launch a petty attack on Northstar's X22 & X43 - that Northstar swiftly strike back re-timing both services and maybe increasing frequency!
To be fair, I don't think GNE are attacking. They appear to be monitoring. Which is a reasonable thing to do.
They can't have any complaints though. They themselves are sending the 301 via Central Station in the morning peaks. I'm sure out of the goodness of their hearts and nothing to do with trying to take college students off the Stagecoach 22.
All GNE have to do is get the basics right and they shouldn't need to worry.....
