Not sure about local commercial services in Leigh but all TfGM contracts within Wigan Borough are to be cancelled.

With Jim Stones going and now this, there will hardly be anything left in regards to local services.

TFGM will put them back out to tender. I'm sure Stagecoach Wigan will be happy to have more work. Other than them, Hattons do the 613 and used to do the 607. Tyrers aren't a millions miles away. Good 3 potential operators there for the extra work. Tyrers of course have some expertise with the Eco Solos.

I do think that TFGM might review some of the services a little bit now to try and cut back to reduce the tendered PVR.
