Press release 02 September 2016
http://www.abellio.co.uk/news/abelli...hange-release/

Abellio Surrey from 31 December 2016 intends making changes to two
services run on a commercial basis. Service 446
(Woking to Heathrow Terminal 5) is to be withdrawn between Staines and
Heathrow and service 461 (Kingston to Staines) is to be withdrawn
between Addlestone and Staines.

At the same time, Abellio has sought to be released from county council
contracts for nine services that are subsidised by the council, none of
which are part of the ongoing Local Transport Review.

These a 81 Woking-Barnsbury Estate (Sundays only), 436
Woking-Brooklands (Sundays only), 458 Kingston-Staines, 514
Kingston-Addlestone, 515 Kingston-Guildford, 555 Heathrow-Hersham,
556/557 Woking-Chertsey/Sunbury and 663 Walton on Thames to Esher High
School.
==
No reasons are known to me.


It's probably because the profits from those services are too high.

Ho Ho.

But why sign a contract and then ask to be let off early ?

Because you misquoted the price, and have second thoughts?
