If the planned changes to STV's news service go through, the former Grampian region will effectively become a sub-opt.

good grief this is a pathetic bleat from the Sun. How else do you get people who work shifts to and from work? And if you want a guest in the studio, you sort cabs for them.
If you:
1. Need to get guests to studios, and back home after, or
2. Need to get staff safely into work or back home after the tube has stopped running
You need to use taxis or private hire. If you do that via contract, it’s cheaper than paying full price each time.
