1) The reason(s) Impera provided for terminating the contract early,
if any.



This information is not held by Merseytravel. Operators
are entitled to serve notice of termination at any time without the need
to explain why and Impera served the requisite period of notice as
required under the conditions of contract.



2) If appropriate, The reason(s) Merseytravel had for terminating the
contract(s) early, if any.



This information is not held as Merseytravel did not
terminate the contract.


Well that was a great use of tax payers money for the FOI........ Impera gave reasons to us on here when they don't even have to provide Merseytravel with reasons if I am reading that correctly.

It proves how inept Merseytravel are.

The contract document, (which they actually provided), under Section 21.1 it states that that any bus operator wishing to terminate a service must give 13 weeks notice AND provide their reasons.

Merseytravel say no reasons were provided.

Subsequently, this is a breach of contract by Impera, which Merseytravel have failed to identify.

Merseytravels own reply there clearly states they do not need to provide reasons. Now either the contract is incorrectly worded or the person replying to you FOI doesn't know his job. Either way Merseytravel are happy with how Impera have handed the contract back can't you just let it settle there mate.
