RE: North East Independents
News from the far north of the area. Perryman's have won five-year contracts for several key corridor services in the Scottish Borders with affect from August 12th, following a retendering round by Scottish Borders Council.

The services won by Perryman's are:

20, Kelso - Jedburgh - Hawick, Sundays only (current operator: Munro's of Jedburgh)

51/52, Edinburgh - Jedburgh/Kelso, daily (current operator: Munro's of Jedburgh)

60, Galashiels - Duns - Berwick, Rail Link service, daily (current operator: First Scotland East)

67, Galashiels - Kelso - Coldstream - Berwick, daily (Perryman's currently operate this service so it is a contract retention)

68, Galashiels - Jedburgh, daily (current operator: Munro's of Jedburgh)

Perryman's have bought the Munro's depot in Jedburgh and are in the process of recruiting drivers ahead of the contract start dates. They are also in the process of shopping for new vehicles for the contracts won.
