Again, I really don't think that any/many people are arguing for a full Serpell - this is just a straw man that people clutch at to try to make their own preferences seem reasonable - the idea that we must either maintain the current number of services/ stations or do Serpell is rather silly - we should be able to discuss revisions without such hysteria...
You would hope so, but @A0wen has argued for zero subsidy, which is basically that.
I still think you could achieve 10% cost reduction (if that is what is meant, not 10% subsidy reduction) without closing anything. Bar the little stuff round the edges like Berney Arms, I think we need a serious review of how buses are done in the UK before anything else is turned over to them, both in terms of quality and of funding.
