Must say, I reckon something will be done with the 685. Most of the passengers are OAPs, and it probably is making a loss.
Who could have predicted a new express service between Newcastle and Hexham?
GNE will do their research and if ANE are neglecting some passengers and they have the resources to be able to bite back by setting up a competing service in that area in the hope that they'll snatch some of the passengers, they'll do it.
ANE will do the same back to GNE if they do actually end up doing something. Like I say, vicious circle.
