Commercial changes are now coming in from First. Potential minor losses of work from Oldham and Bolton, but not Pioneer are hardly affected commercially.

I thought that might be the case regarding the 407. Stotts have just taken on a handful of new drivers so it seemed strange that they were actually loosing some work. I seem to remember originally that Stotts won the mon- sat 407's with Sundays and bank holidays remaining with Swans. It was some months later that swans through in the towel and Stotts took it on. I don't recall Stotts operating on bank holidays though.

The 407 was driven by abset driver; he will likely TUPE to Stagecoach

RE: VOSA Bus Registration Search - SF07 - 17/02/2015 18:40

Looking at today's changes, I'm wondering whether Stagecoach will take over the evening/Sunday 343 service from First, which would also be extended to Gee Cross.

I'm slightly confused. The 407 is worked by 3 regular drivers (as are all Stotts services). If they loose the 407 or any other tender the drivers would simply work a different service. Why would they go to Stagecoach under TUPE?

I suspect this is the case although I was told by a Stotts driver that they have gained the Saturday daytime 343 (formally with JPT) from Stagecoach so another operator could infact be doing evenings/Sundays and Stagecoach have registered a variation rather than a cancellation as they still operate a school service journey but who knows.
Hopefully things will become clearer in the coming days/weeks.

Exactly. As I understand it drivers normally transfer under the TUPE agreement if an operator is taken over or sells or gives certain parts of a business to another operator. I don't think it applies when an operator simply looses a contract otherwise it would all get very complicated.
It's also very unlikely given the way the bigger ops operate that any dedicated driver would switch and be able to JUST work the particular tender gained. Not to mention the pay decrease from drivers moving from First/Stagecoach to MCT Smile

RE: VOSA Bus Registration Search - 37554BY - 18/02/2015 03:10

I know very early days, but does anyone have any clue as to what first are doing with the 510, has the 511 gone and have they brought back the 510? Is the 536 going meaning an increased frequency ? And lastly is this route getting a depot change I'm wondering. I'm just curious

Drivers can transfer from the existing company to the new company of a service/contract (it could result in them being made redundant with their current employer as they're losing work).

"The TUPE regulations can apply when a company is sold, activities are outsourced, brought in-house, transferred or a contract for services is moved from one provider to another."

RE: VOSA Bus Registration Search - M60lad - 18/02/2015 08:04

Does anyone (Dentionian) know what the changes to 415 actually are, I suppose hoping the every 20 min frequency throughout being reintroduced could be a long shot, now this service has gone every 30mins some peak journies are running full to capacity now from Oldham Bus Station meaning that when the bus gets to the College the College kids waiting there are left behind because the driver can't get them on, surely First should have thought that with them reducing the frequency bigger buses would be needed instead of Solos, for some reason Streetlites haven't been triled on the route and probably would have been ideal or maybe First could have sourced some bigger single deckers for the route.

The other thing with 415 which I've heard from both drivers and passengers is that it isn't carrying all that many passengers on the route from Oldham Bus Station-Lees and return with most journies carring fresh air apart from the driver
