I suspect that it won't run and passengers - or is that customers? - will be left stranded. My understanding is that commercial services are not allowed to run at a loss and, anyway, why would Stagecoach or any other operator, be expected to run at a loss?

This latest round of cuts to tendered bus services is exactly what was predicted in 1985. It's taken a long time to get here, but that is where we are now.
