Coniston Coaches

[Cedric]

If they are local authority contracts @Solo1 the staff can be TUPED giving them the same legal rights with the new operator as the previous one if it is judged the local authority contracts are a legally acceptable transfer of undertaking.

the article in the link i posted   it  says  6 drivers will have been made redundent  .
on the tendered bus service finish  as coniston is  still trading  just  coaching .

that would be those on the bus side  as coniston is  still trading  just  coaching .

I was under the impression Coniston Coaches were continuing to operate thier contracts untill rendering formal redundancy terms would be issued to the drivers who will continue untill cessation but the local authority could in theory TUPE the drivers on thier contracts to the new operator.

The WCC contracts have been handed back by Coniston, therefore, they will need to be re-tendered either on a permanent or emergency basis by any new operator, it's unlikely TUPE will apply in this instance.

Yes more than likely to be fair as the contracts have been handed back not taken over
