Rather than adding to the thread about the previous network review, thought it better to start a fresh thread. No problem if Mods feel happier with this being merged with the older thread.

Currently being tendered by Conwy and Powys council are new routes

T10 Bangor – Betws y Coed – Corwen – Chirk – Oswestry (starts Aug 13th for 5 years)
https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/...=JUN254704

T11: Machynlleth – Newtown – Welshpool – Wrexham
T12: Machynlleth – Newtown – Montgomery – Welshpool – Wrexham

There is no more info for the T11/T12 however on another forum, someone states that tenders were collected during recent Powys Council re-tendering.


I haven't seen any info on any other threads hence making a new one.

Whats peoples thoughts on Arriva click coming to merseyside as they reckon by 2019 they whant around a 25 veichle fleet if the trials work out.

I have just come across this proposed timetable from March 2018 for a shuttle from the Vauxhall Football Club site to Overpool Station. The bus will be free to residents and will run half hourly. Has anyone heard who is planned to run this bus? It does say on the website no confirmed start date but someone must have heard something. Has anyone got any other info?

Chester Heritage Tours operated their last tour of the city yesterday, Wednesday 30 May. It is believed that owner/operator Mike Edwards has decided to call it a day after many seasons operating around Chester in 946WAE, the replica of a London General B type body on a 1960's Bedford chassis. The bus itself has apparently been sold to a buyer in the London / Essex area. The website has a short message confirming that operations have ceased - http://www.chesterheritagetours.co.uk.
Oddly, the service has not been cancelled with the Traffic Commissioners.

No idea how a Wilmslow to Manchester Airport busway will work, considering the funding for the Wilmslow to Manchester Airport bus service was withdrawn on 1st April and an attempt of a commercial Macclesfield-Wilmslow-Manchester Airport service by D&G Bus has been unsuccessful and will be withdrawn next month. If normal buses can't make a profit between Wilmslow and Manchester Airport and no-one is willing to fund them, then how can a guided busway possibly work?

Includes buses, as well as other forms of transport.
