So, regardless, it's catch 22 - as tyresmoke said, the day of major evening services is over and before too much longer, you might even see major trunk routes in major urban areas end earlier on a evening rather than run until midnight.
I agree, we will start to see more services run off earlier and start later- unless operators start to think differently.
However, I disagree about costs.
The type of vehicle and fuel economy differ, depending on vehicle type.
A proactive approach to fuel purchasing and insurance costs can also play a part.
No idea about other operators, but Go ahead have drastically cut insurance costs and have bulk fuel policies which mean they have bought fuel for as little as 49p per litre recently.
