Hi All,

Sadly this interesting thread was lost in the move to the new forum, however using Google's cache I've managed to find Mr T's post with the outline of which contracts are due up for renewal in August 2012 and October 2012 respectively!

Any news who has the 106, 112/3, 138/9, 154/5, 181 & 197?

I also here there is some emergency tenders due up can anyone confirm?

Really not sure but another one up in August that I noticed on my travels today is route 211 (Speke Circular) currently with Ace Travel - That is an emergency contract as they took it on after the demise of Supertravel.

Many thanks for rescuing this information Steve.

211 - HTL Buses

This wasn't on the original list but seems to have been won by HTL from August anyway!

Avon have kept the 197.
Have heard that imperia have got the 130 and 210/250 but can't 100% confirm that.

What about 106

They're called Impera, not Imperia!

Personally, I hope that Cumfybus keep the 130. That service, from what I've seen of it, has improved and settled down well under their ownership - 100% better than how Supertravel ran it (reliability-wise)! I don't have any reason why they should have it taken off them! The only issue with them, as a company, is the presentation of their buses and drivers. If they smartened their look up, they'd be a fine little company!

I'm sure that if somebody knew about that service, they'd post it! Obviously nobody knows about it, so you'll have to wait and see! You seem to have forgotten that this kind of information has never been available until it's been shown on VOSA...

Hope Ace dont lose the maghull circulars as they do really well on them have heard that Ace have put in a tender for the formby circular.
