So it's Robin Hood v The World.

Don't forget that that they only started operations in March this year, a bit too late to capture the lucrative Summer market.

Frankly, they've done very well to do what they have so far.
I know that there are major plans for next summer, most which are firm commitments which will take passenger figures beyond 1 million by August 06. Thomson are significant, but not the only operator in the scheme.
Additionally, freight is doing very well, although this is always a tough one to crack, and they really do have tough competition from EMA.

Overall, its my personal opinion that Robin Hood will be a resounding success to the detriment of Bumbleside, but probaly not LBA or EMA.
