I've just explained this to my partner and he had the same idea as me.

This is pathetic, First de-register a service so that TfGM pick it up and then First take on the tender - which means First have further funding for the running of the service.

Now I may be wrong but this is the perfect example of swindling money out of the government. That's silly. They definitely shouldn't have been allowed to run the tender since they showed no interest in the route before funding.

Even more so when it has ofter bus routes on all of its route with the 225,507,537 and 541
