I think that this was completely unneeded and unnecessary. Reasons have been stated and plenty of time has been left for another company to take-over the contract. As passengers, all we should be concerned about is having a fully-functioning service. If that's what we have, then what's your problem? And you've brought-up the 30 - again, unneeded and unnecessary in this situation.

A freedom of information request is just that at the end of the day - a request for information which is freely available upon request. Why should someone not want to request further information if they feel it necessary even if you do not?

As for the 30 (whilst another issue entirely from what was being discussed), I think that's a completely genuine request for information and regardless of whether or not it should have been operated or not based upon paperwork from a previous manager, the fact of the matter is that it was a registered service that did NOT run for as long as it should have done. I'm sure that if one of the larger operators suddenly halted one of their services ahead of a registered termination date with VOSA there would be complaints and there's no difference here - same rules should apply for all and that's no 'dig' at Impera either; my expectation of any operator would be that they run a route through to the end date.
