The Future

[Mushroom]

Is this the future?

 

[Jordy]

I dont know...is it?

 

[Mushroom]

Well its either Stagecoach or Keolis. My guess is its Stagecoach.

 

[Craig]

I thought garlic bread was the future?

 

[Tom]

No, that was sliced bread...

 

[Coxster]

No, that was sliced bread...

Slices of garlic bread...

 

[Jordy]

Well its either Stagecoach or Keolis. My guess is its Stagecoach.

Oh right, didnt even know it was up for grabs, I agree though, stagecoach is probably more likely - as they have sheffield.

 

[fgw first great western]

if you mean the stage coachs that horses carryukeleft: . if so than 999bn% NO

 

[Tom]

Nah, we mean the company controlling SWT.

Oh, and 49% of VT.

And most of the buses on Manchester

Seeing as this topic has been dragged back up, any news on this?

 

[Mushroom]

None so far . Suprising really as the new contracst start on 1st April. Unless its already been decided but not released in to the public domain.

 

[Tom]

I think that a contract extension is more likely, TBH.

Dont think so. Serco have been ruled out of the next contract leaving only Keolis and Stagecoach in the running for it.

Finally some news: Stagecoach have been selected as the prefered bidder to run the Metrolink.

Mushroom, what I meant was Serco would have their contract extended to when it was announced.

Ahh, get you now. I thought that was likely as the deadline was getting a bit close.
