Northstar / GCT who knows, there's the July contracts coming up which will free drivers for GCT but there's also the school holidays which will free buses for Northstar so could be either really.

Good points. School holidays would only make Northstar available temporarily of course, unless they acquire more buses or lose contracts by September. 

It would be good to see Northstar run it from a passenger and enthusiast point of view, Stagecoach from an enthusiast point of view. Probably end up being GCT, everything is always GCT!
