I agree with that also i used to be good mates with the guy who drove the 44 under GHA and he was always ontime its not even a hard or busy run like i mentioned a while back id be surprised if it reached a PAX of 100 a day to be honest.

It's the law I think. You can't subsidise a service where a commercial one already operates. As the TL goes to all the same places as the 42 and 44, it should be reverted to its original route prior to D Jones collapse.

I would love to know how Easybus are getting is so badly wrong. If GHA and D Jones can do it, Why can't Easybus. I had a lot of hope for them but if they are playing silly beggers, they won't get anywhere. Timing buses behind Arriva, the 42 runs on the same times as Arriva (despite missing a massive opportunity for a bus between 5 and 6 from the industrial estate) and they can't keep ontime on an easy route.

If they can't run things now, imagine the state they will be in if/when Arriva increase the pressure (reducing fares, running late to pick up the competitors passengers are common Arriva tactics). Considering how well the minibuses run, how can this be so different. I am baffled. You can tell they don't know what they are doing in the bus side. Minibuses there is help available from those who run the minibuses in London.
