So any predictions then?

77 to Nx.

70 to Nx.

25 to Nx.

The Monday to Saturday only stuff, suspect Igo, including the 326.

The 28E - Not sure.

Whats the story with the 19?

They already run the complete service anyway?

You spoilt my fun. Anyway, I have the full spec for each service that was tendered in the normal way (so not the 142/74)

Different tenders for the same route at different times of the day/days per week I think!

Am still confused about the 142. NE won it but suddenly changed to Central Buses?

Can anyway explain why this happened?

Is the 22nd the date set for the next round of Diamond changes? As I've heard the Hansons route 4 is to go end of this month and some other changes?

004 not surprising. However, seems surprising to cull most of the ex hansons early 226 rounds. 2 or 3 journeys each way gone, surely they wouldnt have been ran if the custom wasnt there?

Tiv losses 2 buses of the 226s and 3 off the 004 when it goes. 002 will have one less duty.
