A cracker that considering 4 drivers lost there jobs!
They actually ceased trading in July and in a sign displayed in Ashton bus station handed thier remaining contracts back to TFGM. It dosen't seem like they ran the 402 for a full year so I'm wondering if it was handed back and tendered to M travel have taken it on at the same price.
It's a same to loose such an old independant that has been around since de-reg. They for many years traded as 'Tandy Bus' using some very weird looking mini buses. I know that checkmate found it very hard in recent years to compete with the likes of MCT and M travel where tenders are concerned it's just a shame they didn't carry on with there commercial C20 service which used to do quite well for a positioning journey.
I believe the owner will continue to run his executive taxi/minibus company.

It may have been noticed that there has been a lack of activity on this thread since last week. This is due to the site being moved onto the gov.uk site and the last few days the site has been down for the move to take place. Looking at the new search system, there doesn't appear to be a way of searching for new applications for registrations, amendments and cancellations by date as was possible under the old system. If anyone can find this option on the site, could they either post a link on this thread or alternatively PM me a link. As well as this being useful to know, I do wish to continue to post this information here. Many thanks in advance.
