The tenders have been awarded, I think, to six operators; McGill's and Lothian (fingers crossed they got the X40) are included. What we don't know is the routes that said companies will operate.
With the Winchburgh Kick starter, well its not been successful.. I dare say they will try again before October deadline.
Ive just noticed something, Its say McGills Midland Bluebird and NOT McGills Eastern Scottish.
