@Alf, you are aware Stagecoach and Worst are separate companies?

Worst are redirecting their newer stock down south. Of course they have form on providing the public such services, a few years ago they raised fares due to increased to fuel prices - despite having hedged the price months earlier giving them a significant discount.

Stagecoach aren't exactly lilly white either, their train business is a marvellous wheeze to take tax payers money.
