Tyrers Bus and Coach

RE: Tyrers Bus and Coach
The Rail Replacements Tyrers are running are between Manchester Victoria & Moston.

Yesterday on my way to work one of Tyrers MMC400s was seen on said Replacement work heading outbound from Manchester on Oldham Road.

I was hoping this would happen and the speculation and rumour mill would start lol. All the TfGM school contract workings have been reviewed this year so many old routes are now extinct. Every operator is in the same boat. As a result these have been cancelled and new routes will be registered in their place but the new registrations take longer to process.

It would be very uncommon to deregister and reregister schools again just for holidays. The amount of paperwork involved alone would be obscene plus £60 a pop to register them. Plus timescales would make it unfeasible although it is entirely unnecessary - the TC would have a meltdown!

Yep I believe every TFGM school tender ended at end of term with new contracts starting in September.

Fair enough, I didn't know that was the case so thank you for the explanation. It wasn't meant to be any random speculation, just asking if it was known if they would be replaced.

I'll be honest, I didn't click that it was all of the manchester schools, just noticed it was a fair number.

RE: Tyrers Bus and Coach
Thanks for the information/reply Andy as for the current Rail Replacements I didn't realise that Tyrers have an evening duty from Manchester-Rochdale until I saw one of the MMC400s going up Broadway last night.

Many thanks for clarifying this. Just out of interest are these additions due to new work or replacing stuff like the ex London DB250s (DLAs) ?

It seems Tower Transit has migrated to Bolton then.
BJ11 DRZ, BJ11 DSE, BJ11 DSU, BJ11 DSY, BJ11 DTF, BJ11 DTV, BJ11 DUU, BJ11 DUV, BJ11 DVF, BJ11 DVL, BJ11 DVM and BJ11 DVP are at Vision Bus.

BJ11 DSO, BJ11 DSV and BJ11 DVH are at Atlantic Travel.

Some "next-door numbers" there but with different operators.
