I think that's because Team Pennine services are basically West Yorkshire tendered services, rather than Transdev commercial services.

By then I reckon a majority of Trent Barton buses could be Enviro 200 MMCs.

In London I reckon that bus 21 from Moorgate to Monument is quicker than the Circle Line.

Once the Bakerloo Line extension to Lewisham opens, trains could go from Marylebone to Lewisham, then onto Ashford, then onto the Continent via the Channel Tunnel :lol:

There is bound to be a large age difference between the final 455 and the 701 which eventually replaces it. :lol:

If anything, Tring might have been considered for an extension of London Overground from Watford Junction, even if now ruled out. I don't see how Tring could be added to Elizabeth Line though.

While I am glad they are arriving now, and I may wish to ride one in July, I can't help feeling the livery colours match Arriva more than Stagecoach.

There is also a difference between Arriva and Stagecoach losing operations and potentially therefore their views regarding vehicles. As Arriva did not bid and will no longer be partaking in Manchester operations, they need not be bothered by the impact on local services. As Stagecoach will...
