Big Dog's, Apropos of nothing in particular, GB actually do slightly better out of transfer pax than did CityFlyer because of their route network. The sectors are longer and they get passengers transferring onto their services from the UK provinces. As a result, they get better revenue shares from SRP. For example, a MAN-LGW sector receives very little of the overall revenue from a MAN-LGW-LIS routing because of the comparative mileage involved. Of course, this creates a problem for the mainline and ex-CFE routes as they are penalised in comparison to the longer sectors. SRP was an AA initiative because of the lower costs per mile of US domestic travel versus European flights, further skewing an already poor European performance. SRP always was the bane of CityFlyer's life.
