Cheshire East have finally published a timetable for the 39 with a note saying route and timetable changed. Unfortunately the route shown bears almost no relation to the timetable!
Still no sign pof a registration.

Not much competition for new Cheshire East contracts including the replacement GHA contracts in the Crewe and Nantwich areas but healthier competition further north with the exception of the 130:

Is there a way we can find out which other companies went in for the tenders or can we only see the winners?

I was expecting a disclaimer on the 38 leaflet that evening journeys would not be Saphire - they surely won't be using deckers on journeys at night?
;
There was a Centro on the daytime service today.

Hollinshead's had two new Enviro200s on the Beartown SN66WKY/Z - only two appear on their facebook page so what will cover?

I don't think there is unless operators say they submitted a bid which didn't win. With some, like Bear town, you can probably guess who they were but for others, like the 88 and 200, it would be more difficult. The 200 would be an interesting one as it seems to be one that is attractive to coach operators who want to have a go at bus operations.

I'm not sure what you're getting at as the tender was for the evening services.

The allover red Volvo B10BLE, R839 PRG was noted on the move eastbound along the A5 level with Montford Bridge (near Shrewsbury) around 18:05 on 26/10. I assume off to a new home from the remainders left at Ruabon?

Regards
Chris.

Does anybody know if there's anything still unsold?

Yes - i was confusing it with the change of the Sunday service to 12E

The ones that went to Baker/Harrington's were in last weeks route one as "further reduced" and I think there are some at Ensign still in this weeks.
