Granted GHA were "playing dirty" but they where not doing anywhere near as well as RM in terms of passenger numbers and therefore presumably not yielding the same income as RM.

I disagree. I don't believe they were winning at any time. They had their loyal passengers but most just got on the first bus to come. From the moment GHA started they had reasonable loadings because they were running a couple of minutes in front of Routemaster. When I was travelling on the route it was obvious that GHA , if overtaken by the RM bus, would do their damnedest to get back in front. I never saw a RM bus leave Nantwich early even if the GHA was behind time
