RE: Cumfybus
The 602 was retained at the expense of the evening 188 returning, I wouldn't be overly surprised if HTL end up with the 156 back again.

This contract is just the 156 and 602. It's visible on The Chest tendering portal.

RE: Cumfybus
But St Helens Rider is right, it won't be for the 156/602 - it will be for the 156/33/12 as that is what Cumfybus operate now. HTL are operating the 602 and have no planned changes upcoming.

In that case then, I wonder if Merseytravel are going to put the 12/33 in with a different contract. Not sure what other contracts they can fit into it unless there other changes planned at the same time.

RE: Cumfybus
So you're claiming that the Merseytravel contract is lying. Pmsl



Here is the tender which has gone out.

RE: Cumfybus
No but what we see infront of us is at present Cumfybus run the 156/12/33 and HTL run the 602, the latter of which is running in place of the evening and Sunday 188 contract. All that is absolute fact, is it not?

The current situation may be fact (granted I made a mistake there) but to claim that the details in the contract are false, that is the laughable bit since it's information which is relatively easy to access.

RE: Cumfybus
No one is saying the details are false at all though, just you - you said Cumfybus have thrown back the 156/602 tender which does NOT operate a 602 at present. There is a lot of things at Merseytravel lately that have appeared one way and have operated another, but a public forum is not really the place to delve into their absolute mistakes on issuing tenders of late - take it from someone who has seen this first hand.

RE: Cumfybus
The Gemini's are ex-Preston Bus Cumfy have had them for a few months now, they're mainly for schools but some can run on general services 239's on Saturday have seen these on there now and then.
