Is there a reason that they still use the Fairway Park and Ride site , just that it has the air of desolation compared to the other two sites which look like they have had money thrown at them.

The expected contract running dates listed on the tender details are 23rd February 2013 to 30th March 2018. Interested operators have until 12pm on Monday 26th November to register their interest, potential for Stagecoach to register a bid is there but I honestly don't know if they will or not, but I wouldn't rule it out seeing as Chorley depot successfully gained some school work in the area.

Now with Stagecoach Manchester having a depot at Wigan as well Stagecoach could be well in the mix now .

I also think that the high profile site at Kew does need to be used more , think lots of people hate traversing round that roundabout by Kew Tesco.
