Remember, some of the subsidised services had to be altered so as to not compete with the new commercial route 80. Links were broken, in one or two cases, routes altered, as were timetables. This begs the question, why did CBNW do this?

Do think the transport act is going to have to be looked at more closely as this seems to be an unecessary expense by the tendering authority , maybe a longer period being allowed between terminating a contract and a commercial service starting to see if the commercial is really a viable option .
