RE: Diamond Bus North West (formerly South Lancs Travel)
What non-school TfGM routes do Go Goodwins/Little Gem run? Since the Altrincham changes, I'm a bit out of the loop. Thanks.

Thanks for that. Look to be a nice fit with Diamond. Looks like their buses will be returning to a purple livery again!

Do you know which other tenders they have won from October?

If a deal has not been finalised and signed there's a chance it could not go through, so the deal can't be officially announced.

I personally feel this should be kept in the Goodwins thread, perhaps a new thread? The whole (SLT) thing in the thread title doesn't make it fit here. 20724 YJ57XWO is ex SLT and one of 3 on loan here. Another is 20857 MX56NLU. YJ57ZMO doesn't exist.
