I didn't say or imply they should.

What I said was

"If Arriva keep closing depots not making enough money, and councils keep axing low usage bus routes, it's not surprising they don't have a future home lined up from the Mellors."

The fewer depots they have - the fewer cascade options they'll have.

Then with stretched council budgets they'll be fewer low usage routes going out to tender.

In the unlikely event Cheshire East Council now put out a tender for a bus service with a minimum seating of 17 in the Crewe area, Arriva aren't going to bid for it, because it'll be too far from Runcorn.[/i]
