Arriva receive absolutely nothing for accepting Stagecoach passes though so why would they? If someone gets on using an Arriva pass, they've had money from them at some point. If someone gets on without a pass, they pay a fare. If someone gets on with a Stagecoach pass, there's nothing for Arriva. It's like expecting BA to allow you on with a Ryanair ticket just to boost the number on their service; it would never happen.

As for allowing them and then suddenly stopping, that'd certainly be an excellent way to drive away custom, not gain it.
