The April Tender winners were told today

Some interesting ones
Expect to see Claribels buying some more vehicles and running in places they don't currently.
I believe Diamond have won all the Black Country tenders currently run by Arriva that were due for renewal

A FOI Request has been sent to WMCA regarding the tenders, which will get linked here in due course.

Would a Sunday service on the 94 operated by Claribels really be part of the April Tenders?

No I was making a point that this could lead to them branching out in terms of their core routes/times etc.

Why waste time and money of WMCA when it's something released into the public domain anyway?

1) it's called holding public bodies to account to what they spend our council tax money on
2) They didn't publish it for the last tender round in October, until a similar FOI was made.

More like wasting public money & time.

They tell you who won the tenders by publishing them in the service changes.

But not in the form of the statutory outcome of tenders, until the recent redesign of the website for the general public, and a FOI for on here
