That could be the case. I think it does seem quite quick for it to all have been sorted but maybe the council were told a while before. If Selwyns has won the school contract, that is good to hear but I am yet to hear anything more than rumours. I know a few people on this forum work at Selwyns and may know a few things or other people on the forum may have contact and know what is officially going on.

RE: Selwyns
The approach to school transport in Cheshire West at present seems to be the school (not the council) asks local operators to consider running the service commercially as the first resort.

Selwyns have just registered all the Merseyside schools from 29th April. A heck of a lot of tenders won.

I cant help feel this article is slightly misleading, Selwyns are only doing schools, at least for now

I think the paper is giving people false hope as cant see selwyns wanting to operate routes that struggle to make a profit.

RE: Selwyns
Clearly the paper hasn't done much research into Selwyns or they would realise that Selwyns do very few service runs and when they do, they normally charge silly prices with the intention of not winning and it they win, it's a bonus (371/372 being handed back to CEC for retendering, 3/3A being lost and the buses then sold so clearly no intention of winning anything else). The issue is, if Merseytravel don't put out the tenders, no one will take on any work. That is what is all goes down to.

I will be interested to see if Selwyns eventually move some NX work to the depot with it being closer to Liverpool
