At the risk of being pedantic. do you mean the contract is not being renewed? "Funding being pulled" infers TfGM are terminating the contract early. which is very rare unless. Someone registers it commercially

Is it up for re-tender or is the service no longer being supported ?

Not being supported anymore due to decline in Passenger Numbers i believe.
2686 is at St Helens for a Repaint and a believe a Pulsar has been involved in an RTA on the 10 today
