A long-distance, rural run which requires deckers due to patronage is surely a rare opportunity to hold on to.
I remember being amazed at how many people use the 84, given the type of areas it goes through.

In my opinion, a competitor would do well to register longs instead of further shorts.

I think that the reduction in Concessionary payments to Arriva has a lot to do with the decision.
The route carries a lot of passengers but revenue is too low. The concessionary payments received are now only 56 pence per passenger.
I really do hope that the decision is reversed as I also think that the route has a potential to grow and the services operating from Winsford Depot are rapidly shrinking.
