They registered the new service 3 on the day Thamesdown was acquired, so they had that ready to go up against whoever bought the company.

As for other areas, competition isn't that intensive between Stagecoach and Go Ahead - in Oxford there is the Quality Bus Partnership, meaning timetables are co-ordinated and tickets are valid on either operator. And in Newcastle, the impression I get is that co-existence is peaceful.

In Oxford you have the 7/500 which both were changed/created to go Oxford - Oxford Parkway - Woodstock which is it.
Looking back to Newcastle, I guess it is pretty peaceful. I was thinking of the X24 which only really rivals the metro!
