National Express is also a recognised coach brand as well , tried and trusted .

I'm sure that ClassicBus are aware of what they're doing; in their defence, they have a deal with Blackpool Pleasure Beach (something like a discounted price for the fair and travel to and from Manchester) at the moment, alongside wi-fi on their RedRocket vehicles (unsure if National Express provide that feature), so that could benefit them in the long run regarding potential passengers. I'm sure that people will enjoy the choice of services - which, as suggested, will see fares change to benefit them. There's nothing wrong with competition. I certainly wish ClassicBus, as a small business, good luck with their venture and hope that this is the start of a new era for them.
