An interesting read followed up by Ben Gilligan asking for more money.
Ben is not asking for money. He's being diplomatic. I know the area very very well and a lot of the settlements on the east coast have populations in double digits.
What he's really saying is if somebody else wants to pay for more buses to serve villages with under 100 people living there, then fill your boots.
I imagine if they did it themselves, they'd lose a lot of money, close Withernsea depot and make the drivers redundant. He can't say that though!
