airhumberside: Your correct on both accounts. It's a charter on behalf of Thomson Lakes and Mountains.
I've noticed on the Thomson Holidays website that Catalonia (Costa Brava) appears in the drop down menu, but as yet is not bookable. This makes me wonder if they may introduce Barcelona as a 3 x weekly service to carry lo-co and charter passengers.
After having used the FR GRO service twice, I can safely say that the amount of passengers travelling via the Barcelona Bus is no more than 30 per flight. The majority stay within the holiday resorts of the Costa Brava. Thats less than 5% of the passengers travelling on to Barcelona via the bus, so I feel that a TOM service on a 3 or 4 X weekly service would be viable. Fingers crossed
