I think it is true to say that they have scarcely started any route from scratch. All/most of their routes are those which other operators, using larger units, have been unable to make viable or they were abandoned because they did not fit in with their other routes etc. This of course means that they have rarely had to suffer the high costs associated with route start ups!
However, a splendid example of an operator surviving despite the LOCOs and providing a pretty good service.
