As stated this is only rumour so not confired in any way at present

I have heard they put in a bid. Whether it is useless or not, it is work. You put in bids high enough that you make money. As I have said in other places, it is well known that you can put in very daft bids and it may just be the lowest. It is work for you, it is profit. It isn't like you make a loss from tenders (unless you are very stupid). Any money is better than none. Given the way the bus industry is going in that councils are consistently withdrawing funding for bus services. I would think it wise to make as much as you can now to help keep the business going in the long run.

I think this tender must be through CWACC (Both CWACC and Flintshire contribute) and not Flintshire council as this would have all been done back with the 9s, sps etc etc. The 9s, SPs are being kept unless SC have handed back the tender. The awards were only recently so retenering them would be useless.


On a slightly side note, the C56 has also been cancelled from the same date as the X1/1/2. I did post earlier but due to moderation it has kind of popped up in the middle of the thread randomly lol. Only posted again so people see it.
