You dont need to keep the buses at Queens road or they can move out the free bus. GAL Luton dont own a Depot they run from a car park and a office. Also will drivers be Tupe over to GNW

I believe the drivers could Tupe over to the company that wins or takes over the contract.
The union doesn’t care what is owned and what isn’t. It was seen as unreasonable to expect drivers to travel from Bolton to Rusholme every day for work so Firsts plans to reopen Rusholme were dashed.
Tbh I think they only retain Oldham as they need it to maintain and inspect the vantage buses.
