The subsidy level offered by Cheshire East council for the Saturday service works out at £6.25 per service, so the loadings don't need to improve that much for the service to become profitable again. If D&G hadn't done their 30p increase which was high enough to result in more people walking to town and catching the bus home (opposed to catching the bus in both directions) it might have been the Saturday service would have taken more revenue.

Is the 300 during the week a commercial service. If so GHA who have been awarded the Saturday Contract could have lower fares on the service to attract passengers, As 2 operators are not allowed the same fares as it can be seen as companies unfairly keeping fares up
