How the heck did that happen?

Er, Travel Express bid less than Diamond?

I love Walsall buses

It's tendered, Travel Express won it by tendering at a lower price
Ok thanks for that

Solo1

Wonder if they have won any more tenders

Westy

Yeah, but Travel Express though.

Even Igo have more credability than TE surely?

Sorry but what does credibility have to do with it?

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

TfWM ask  for three prices on bids
Euro 6 (after 6 months)
Euro 5
Other

The 28 has been awarded to NXWM on the Euro 6 price, but don't expect Euro 6 vehicles on it initially, but traps will be fitted to them before April.

It is possible the 303 has been awarded on the 'other' price

igogeneral

I would think quality would not have come into any decision made on awarding this contract. However you need to give the man a chance as whatever the quality of service provision may be you can be assured he met all the criteria set out by TfWM

Isn't there a requirement that tendered routes are operated by vehicles in fleet livery displaying fleetnames? Never seen a fleetname as a windscreen sticker like on the Streetlite!

Diamond have their front logos as stickers like that on some of their Streetlites, but they do also have logos elsewhere unlike the Travel Express example.

Any views/comments are my own and do not reflect those of my employer.

I believe the 303 requires one bus a day. Wonder what the other new bus will appear on when it's not needed on the 303

Solo1

They have a white one but it's not ready for service yet so when this is ready I believe this will act as a spare one .I don't know if they can use the 03 reg as a emergency if the street lite of the rd
