It was always going to happen, only a complete idiot would use the Arriva buses if they live near the railway line (nearby being, at least, a 10 minute walk)
It's just a shame the railway has it's own problems with capacity issues which could be fun tomorrow with Bedlington now being open.
I always thought there would be changes, but the posts you made always read as if it would finish Arriva in the area which is where I, and I suspect others disagreed with you. It's sensible now that Arriva have data on how the line is going, to make adaptions to the network to suit it. There's potential for growth for them if they do it right.
