Let's not forget it was 2016 when GHA Coaches collapsed. Arriva have been running an hourly 84 for 7 years since then, not to mention they were running it before then. Arriva did make the 84 a commercial success.

Even though the D&G 84 shorts didn't last as long, we know what they did when they were actually losing money on a 130 from Macclesfield to Manchester Airport. If the 84 shorts weren't working, why wouldn't they have cancelled sooner?

Granted with GHA we have no idea. They were only running duplicate services and their finances were already in the red. The 84 registration itself seemed a very desperate attempt to get some additional fares.
