[the trainbasher]

All tendered services

[Westy]

So any predictions then?

77 to Nx.

70 to Nx.

25 to Nx.

The Monday to Saturday only stuff, suspect Igo, including the 326.

The 28E - Not sure.

Whats the story with the 19?

They already run the complete service anyway?

[Matt.N0056]

You spoilt my fun. Anyway, I have the full spec for each service that was tendered in the normal way (so not the 142/74)

Interesting that Igo won the 19 & 530 tenders, yet Diamond have registered them from 22nd Oct

Intetesting that Igo won the 19 & 530 tenders, yet Diamond have registered them from 22nd Oct

Different tenders for the same route at different times of the day/days per week I think!

Am still confused about the 142. NE won it but suddenly changed to Central Buses?

Can anyway explain why this happened?

[Kevin2017]

Is the 22nd the date set for the next round of Diamond changes? As I've heard the Hansons route 4 is to go end of this month and some other changes?

004 not surprising. However, seems surprising to cull most of the ex hansons early 226 rounds. 2 or 3 journeys each way gone, surely they wouldnt have been ran if the custom wasnt there?

[Kevin2017]

Tiv losses 2 buses of the 226s and 3 off the 004 when it goes. 002 will have one less duty.
