Noticed that the 99 (or the 32) hasn't been awarded. Does that mean that it is going to be withdrawn or is it staying with NX.
I don't know how tendered routes work so don't laugh at me because I don't.

Am I right in assuming that as the 10H/10S show as 'not awarded', does this mean NX are operating these commercially now? Or have they just been 'bundled in' with the 10 contract?
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

The 54/54A has been awarded on a 'package' bid, I assume the 10H & 10S are lumped in to that.

If it's not awarded, it means it finishes & will no longer run. Unless a temporary extension has been agreed with existing operator.

Ah yes, that must be it then.

AG32 (Shirley-Lyndon) is run commercially so is not affected. Same with the 58 (Solihull-Lyndon-Kingshurst).

so the 81 is being withdrawn then?

WN81? No, what makes you say that?

Due to the award saying not awarded I think they mean

I see. It's listed twice for some reason. There were no listed timetable changes for the 81 on the NX website

Two seperate contracts, T0125 and T0567. The former was awarded to NX Bus, the latter was not awarded.

Not sure what the two contracts referred to. Perhaps they have been combined, or the one tender is now commercially operated.

Could the other contract be for evenings and Sundays perhaps?

According to my notes, One contact was for certain journeys running during the daytime in the Netherton area, with others being evening and sundays. Unless they've changed them that is.
