Why are people so fussed about the forthcoming changes? It's very much a case of "what will be will be". Arriva have obviously done their homework - I didn't see the passengers being consulted mind - and have developed a plan going forward.
It may be good, may be bad. It won't suit everyone but everyone has to remember that Arriva, as a commercial enterprise can only deliver what it can from the revenue it receives. Even now you ride certain services and feel that it's running at a loss and dependant, on the income across the day. I'm no financial wizard but if I were in business and not making money I'd be looking at changes.
