You are right to draw attention to this improvement. Let us hope that this improvement continues to be the case.
As someone who has not been impressed by BEE's decision making, I do recognise the achievement, & applaud it, for what it is. But, this does not alter my feelings about the decision to open, & then very quickly close, the EGHH routes. This was, obviously (& not just in my opinion, but in fact) very quickly undertaken at the outset with not very much investigation made into the feasibility of the base. Let us hope that the decision to then close it was not also taken so glibly.
Is it not the case that this profit was achieved whilst the Bournemouth routes were in operation ? Could they not, therefor, have continued ?
