I'm pretty sure as soon as anyone knows anything that can be publicly divulged then it will be posted here in due course.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

Quote from: fleetline6477 on September 11, 2024, 08:15:15 PMSolihull used to have letter numbers for minibus services, remember catching the Y to my Aunt's in Yardley. There were others, can't remember then though.
A, B, D, G, K, S, T, Y dont think i missed any ?
all were operated by AG, usually Iveco's on A, B & S the rest were usually Metroriders (i dont remember the Transits except on The A)

The reason why is that whilst the Tender Outcomes have been sent to Operators, the Operators now have a period to accept or decline the tender. Nothing will be made public until both parties are satisfied and happy to go ahead.

Mr Parker is disappointed that he can't make more money out of the Tender processes (there was an article on Birmingham Mail saying this but I cannot find it). He wants more companies involved in the Tender process to push up the prices of the tenders so they get more money.

I think you mean more competition to reduce tender prices to save them money.
TfWM subsidise bus operators to run the tendered services.
