A driver who I know there told me that they were all being returned to TfGM at the end of April. Something to do with the Optare contract and a refurbishment program.

This could be another reason for the new Tower Transit investments.

As for tenders, I know there was talk of the new evening number 1 from Bolton to Egerton (which, if Vision get, would be a like for like replacement for the withdrawn evening 533). There is also the possibility of the daytime 516 which is likely to be tendered after Diamond stop their commercial service. But Vision are also losing a lot of services due to withdrawing all their commercial routes (except the daytime 527) and changes to associated tenders (eg as they're cancelling the daytime commercial 595, TfGM are withdrawing the subsidised evening/Sunday trips and replacing all journeys with the re-routed 583).

There must be something in the pipeline though because I can't see Vision willingly losing so much work (and risking losing more with the Bolton routes up for renewal too) without some sort of backup plan/hidden agenda.

That’s interesting regarding the Tfgm hybrids. They are all in poor condition anyway, and I can’t remember whether they meet Euro 6 standards or not, most are certainly not any longer hybrids anyway.
