I've heard and read that they are apparently due to take on work in Middleton and maybe the current 94 service so surely before taking them on the drivers will need route learning something that is unlikely to happen at the moment so will TfGM have a back-up plan/operator that could take them on if Go Northwest are unable to?

Why would it effect things?? GNW are operating all their tenders as normal. There’s around 30 drivers sat around with nothing to do so once it’s been confirmed who’s won what they will get these drivers out route learning.
You’d actually be surprised how many, or how few drivers actually know the 34 and the 415.
