The 62/62a seems to be at a will it or wont it status at the minute. Would cause a right storm if nobody takes it on

[andrew1991]

Quick question, was the 223 open for bids ?

[Stuharris 6360]

According to the list, not up for tender till 2017.

So when will we know the outcome of the tenders

[Stuharris 6360]

Would have thought the changes would be starting to go through VOSA anytime now.

[hartshill busman 724210]

The tender results have been released telling individual operators what they have won. There is a period for operators to accept/decline the contracts then the results are published. This allows a second operator to accept a turned down contract from somebody else. Somebody may jump the gun, but operators do not need to adhere to the 56 day rule on contracts as a letter of support would be available from Centro to send to TC.

So hopefully sumone will let it slip soon enough does anyone know if arriva have picked anything up
