As i already stated in the past, from July Arriva lose the 79 Tender however they have Re-gained the 484
They been told, just like when i mentioned the other set of Tenders they stopped running this Month
It'll be interesting to find out where Bolton Bus Basher is getting his information from these days as most of what he's posting does tend to be pretty accurate and reliable
My info comes from an Employee who likes to keep up with whats going on but yes i find him very Reliable otherwise i would not believe what he says
All dentonian is trying to saying is that the information has not come fully into the public domain and as such could be classed as commercially confidentional information.
For those who haven't seen the VOSA thread or website, Go Goodwins have gained the 79 from Arriva from July:
