SO the 362 is currently run by Arriva Bolton?

As i said, in London, operators from depots outside London have to apply for a London Service Permit to operate non TFL services in the London area, i'm sure GM will have a similar scheme for services that operate from depots outside the GM area

Here's how it works in London.

Most of the routes on our bus network are put out to tender. If you want to run a bus, coach or tours service outside of our network, you'll need to apply for a London Service Permit.
