Centro Tendered Services

Certainly would. I saw on Centro on a pdf about last April tenders, and there were 14 for the S2 and S3! Although blue Diamond won of course.

Not surprised there were so many bids for this. It is a good contract to win as it is several PVR and is for at least 12 hours a day 6 days a week. Even more if the Eves and Sunday service is included too.

The point of a tender as far as a bus company is concerned, is to allow a route that would`nt make them money to make a profit by adding the tender money to the routes income. They can establish what it will cost them to run that route over the contract period to allow them a profit. It is a calculated risk especially in these uncertain times (government regulation changes ie BSOG )but companies can make money from operating them.

Credit where it's due, the SN05 Dart that Blue Diamond have had out on the Signature services looks exceptionally smart.
