I think it's worth noting that only Goodwins have said what they have won. Diamond may have won tenders in other areas to make up for this.

It’s speculation and the rumour has been doing that rounds for ages, but the truth is Eccles is somewhat more settled running wise than Bolton. I’d imagine they would look at maybe moving some work from Bolton to Eccles to balance the scales, plus a lot of these contracts going to a Goodwins are only 12 month contracts so potentially Diamond may want to retain Eccles for any future tender wins.

Must be a bit of a slap in the face for Diamond though. They acquired the bus side of GoGoodwins several years ago along with the Eccles yard and now they have snatched a lot of their work back off them. M
