Franchising-related news in the agenda for next week's GM Transport Committee meeting
Services 21, 163, 520, 561, 562 and 575 are proposed to be withdrawn.
Services 8,36,37,524 and 582 will each be reduced from every 12 to every 15 minutes.
Also in response to the franchising announcement, Vision Bus are to withdraw the 527.
TfGM's response is yet to be decided, but clearly they have to do something. If Diamond want to wind down their Bolton operation though how much would TfGM have to pay them to keep it, and who else wants to take on so much work for less than a year?
Does anyone know if Diamond staff are guaranteed work when Go North West take over? And who is paying for training new staff at the moment given they aren't going to do much productive work for Diamond?
