I know - aureolin had to do that himself for GNE's service changes in a post above, which is why I pointed out ANE do it too.
Like I say, it's unfortunate that bus operators don't list their service changes out in full, but I guess if there's a whole list of 'this is being axed, 'this is being axed', 'this is being axed', and, oh.. 'this is being axed too'... Doesn't make the operator look too good.
Customers who don't even travel by those buses could notice that, and end up fearing the worst for their local services too - perhaps even commenting on this on Social Media. I'm inclined to suggest that most customers won't actually think of their local bus service as contributing to a business' success or demise - and I doubt some people would realise that if a service is not profitable, there's only so many times it can be self-subsidised before it has to be cut.
Just one suggestion why they don't list the service changes out in full, especially when it comes to services being withdrawn... Mightn't be correct!
