The changes will not go ahead.  The route will stay as it is until 01/01/23.

So does that mean the every 20 minute frequency will stay or is the 226 still going to go to every 30 mins?

Either way the website would need updating to say what is happening?

The website currently says that it's being reduced to every 30 minute and extending to Wall Heath as a trial

Hello Simon. I understand that Diamond SE's evening and Sunday 461 service was recently retendered by Surrey County Council, with the daytime operator seemingly having since made a variation to their route registration from the end of this month. Are you able to say if this means Diamond has lost the contracted evening/Sunday element to the 461's daytime operator, or just them potentially amending their existing timetable to coincide with the new academic term and not actually related? Thanks in advance!

Does the 96 no longer do the Old Oscott loop?

Also Nbus now valid on the whole of the 35?

The service was retendered and we lost the tender at that point

I am not aware that the 96 route has changed and the NBus is only accepted to the Boundary on the 35.

Hi Simon.
The 302 was on your list of doomed services,  --  are you now going to continue with it, or has it gone to another operator, - or is it completely dead, please ??

Thanks.

I presume you mean 302 at Kidderminster.  If so, we are not sure.  We are waiting on Worcestershire County Councils position on funding

Thanks Simon, sorry to hear that. There's still a couple of services that were retendered at the same time that appear to have been deregistered by existing operators but as yet the new operator not yet announced. Namely a couple to Collingwood College (83/87), and possibly one to Esher High School (663) to where I believe you already run 2/3 vehicles on the 814? Are you at liberty to give a hint if Diamond had any success among these last few, or am I just being a bit too nosy now?

We have been awarded the 83, 87 and 663

hi Simon, with regards to the 4 streetlites transferring to Preston will they be painted into preston bus colours, and are they replacing any of the existing fleet. 

also with the purchase of johnsons and midland classic, will any of their fleet be joining preston, e.g the scania omnicities and omnilinks. 

kind regards
callum

Overall Preston has too many vehicles.  There are no more planned transfers, and we overall need to reduce the number of vehicles.

The Streetlites were originally acquired for Heathrow.  We do not expect them to be ever used in Heathrow now and they are being transferred with the intention that they will stay in Preston, so yes they will be painted
