Overall then, have Hanson's gained more work than they've lost. ie will additional buses need to be sourced?

Hi, thanks for your updates.

One I was wondering about, why are your service cancellations for 208/231/267/657 effective 16th October but not registered to start by other operators until the 23rd October, around the usual date for contracts to expire/change.

Who will be running those services for the week in between?

It's interesting this round of tender changes for yourselves. It sees you go off services 231 (run for 5 years) and off 267/657 which have been operated considerably longer, possibly the biggest change in your operation I can think of.

Hi .
An admin cock up elsewhere has led to those dates mentioned being published incorrectly.All contracts finish on the correct date.
Contract changes can happen any time they are renewed.Thats why the tender process is followed.

Exactly, I assumed as much, thanks for clarifying.

Precisely, that's the system followed ever since 1986, socially necessary services are tendered out and awarded usually on a cost basis and services often pass between operators after this tendering process.

Centro usually tend to use October and April as the two main periods for tendered service changes.
