Nooo, you can't be having ANOTHER independant operator being bought out by the big boys.
All of scarlet bands contracts are due for renewal this year, only won on 1yr contracts so you could see gne open up a new depot in bishop if any are won. Also durham park & ride is up in march next year, so maybe a low cost unit could be established with the X21 being returned to chester & the X46 withdrawn.
None of the contract let last year are up for renewal this year, they were let for 4 years with a possible 2 years extension.
