That is SUCH a tragedy! Hardly unexpected though when you see how few 
services they have left.

The big white or magic bus keeps eating up all in its path , so much
for competition. On the brighter side there are a few fallen hero's
who were mistreated,  kicked to the kerb who will end up back at
Stagecoach

Seen as Stagecoach seem to be obliterating all competition in the
south of the city. Think First might try buy some of the independents
in the north, Bluebird and Jpt spring to mind?

While I don't think the bus war helps anyone, I can't help feel a bit
sad about that.  The 42 in 1997-2001 was nothing if not interesting!

He he. We were discussing this at great length all day, the 'fallen 
heros' who are back in fold.
