This is an interesting one. An operator who quite clearly isn't interested in the service and has quite successfully managed its decline by failing to address chronic unreliability, which drove passengers away nd a consequent frequency reduction, with the result that's its now just not attractive enough to encourage any new use, even though there are numerous new (and planned) housing developments along the corridor which could be tapped into. This set against a council that is just not interested in public transport. A perfect storm. A miracle if it survives.
