As part of the application Tesco have committed with the developers to fund the Metrocentre shuttle bus with a larger vehicle to the tune of £10,000 a year for 5 years which will make the majority of the funding. Wonder if Tesco will take over tendering?
Right across the road from ASDA, bet they won't be happy.
I'm not sure how much larger the vehicle on the Metrocentre Circular will be able to get, as I don't think a double decker, or even anything much longer than the Merit currently being used will be able to circle the car parks, etc.
