I've used them once and that's the last ride I'm having with them. The driver was driving aggressively, ran red lights to beat the NX bus to a stop. The bus itself wasn't in good condition, it cut out at a bus stop but the driver got it working. Easily tell these guys are cowboys.

TfWM must be desperate.

It will be interesting to see if this has been awarded for a Euro 6 Bus, I presume not...

You presume wrong, it is understood to have been awarded on the basis of Euro 6 as per all other new TfWM contracts

I actually understand not every single tender on this round have been awarded as Euro 6. I'm not sure where you get your information from.

It's always possible that things could of changed since my info, TfWM are struggling to attract bidders for some routes, so may have relaxed their requirements. It doesn't matter where I get my info from....

As operators are now starting to register tender service changes, I'm assuming final awards / specs aren't far off being finalised.

It's tendered, Travel Express won it by tendering at a lower price
