Tomlinson Travel (Winsford)
Does anyone know which buses Tomlinson Travel of Winsford are currently in possession of? They have two Cheshire East contracts - the 300 Knutsford circular evening service and 319 Holmes Chapel-Sandbach, as well as I think some school contracts.

They were using a livered 51 reg Renault Rohill Harrier as the regular bus on the 300 route but this week so far it's been either a Mercedes Vario (possibly Y556 KSC https://www.flickr.com/photos/41302931@N03/15629203151/ ) or a plain white 52 reg Renault Rohill Harrier, so I don't know if the latter might be a replacement bus or an additional bus.

They seem to use Mercedes Koch BX06 ULS: https://www.flickr.com/photos/nicksbusco...772509669/ as the regular bus on the 319 route.

PC1024226/5 - IAN ANDREW TOMLINSON, 5 DARNHALL SCHOOL LANE, WINSFORD, CW7 1JR
Cancellation Accepted: Operating between KNUTSFORD CIRCULAR and KNUTSFORD CIRCULAR given service number 300 effective from 07-May-2016.

I wonder if there's to be a replacement contract? I haven't noticed a new round of contracts go out to tender but Tomlinson Travel have been known to hand back contracts early saying passenger numbers have dropped - they did that with both the 47 and 49.

I actually noticed the Renault Rohill Harrier on the 300 route on Saturday didn't have the Tomlinson Travel logo on it, I don't know if that was the bus they frequently have on the 300 route which did have Tomlinson Travel logos or whether it was a different one.

According to Transport Service Solutions the 300 evening service will be operated by an unspecified different operator to the same timetable.
