From the moment GHA started they had reasonable loadings because they were running a couple of minutes in front of Routemaster. When I was travelling on the route it was obvious that GHA , if overtaken by the RM bus, would do their damnedest to get back in front. I never saw a RM bus leave Nantwich early even if the GHA was behind time

I agree with your comment of GHA trying to get back in front because as they have shown on most routes they run they have absolutely no regard for the safety of any road users. However on the days I observed, Routemaster were certainly doing a good trade compared to GHA. On each of these occasions GHA only had one bus on so Routemaster of course was always going to come out on top. So based on the fact that GHA didn't and still don't run a full service, from my experience Routemaster seemed to be doing a pretty good job, but like I say I only properly observed about 5 or 6 times so my experience is limited.
