For instance, at present you can get a ticket from Barrie to Toronto which is bus about halfway (to Bradford) where you change to the train. Soon that will be train all the way but I suspect then buses will start linking towns outside Barrie like Collingwood. A similar example would be running buses into Navan and Midleton to prove the feasibility or otherwise of Kingscourt and Youghal - but the through fare/ticket/pass is the key. BE would have a fit but that's why CIE shouldn't exist any more.
I agree completely.
