After all, isn't the current work for their bus fleet largely school/college-based? In which case, you'd have thought that a Monday-Friday, peak-hours only service would be the last thing they'd want to add to their portfolio. (Unless, of course, they currently have a greater proportion of contracts for taking schoolchildren to/from swimming pools, sporting activities etc. during the day, rather than for children to commute between home and school?)

I'd think that it'd be the other way around? They mainly do Monday to Friday peak-time work (schools and other education transport like college buses) and the 103 runs on Mondays to Fridays during peak-time only. Plus, the service is practically on their doorstep. With it not being a full-time service, just like the other work that they do, I'd say that it looks the most suitable out of the selection of services (apart from the 8-- services and schools).
