Vehicles
ANE - new vehicles arriving soon which will allow older buses to be used on contracts
SNE - plenty spare buses across the country
GNE - buses saved with service cuts and from London
Drivers - who knows!!
TUPE applies if the drivers wish to move with the contracts https://www.gov.uk/transfers-takeovers
