Anything deregistered would have to be done so by 7th February, and surely as they are already tendered, the assumption is they would not be commercial, and Operators would have communicated any exceptions to that presumption by now anyway. As regards the consultation being open until Easter Sunday. How are they going to collate responses, change plans, draw up and award contracts and get Operators to register and schedule services, all in four working days. This is appalling organisation!

Because you know as well as I do that the decisions have already been made regardless of what a few disgruntled bus passengers say.

Sad to say it was the same here in Manchester when TFGM were first planning to slash evening services in Tameside. Yes, they were quick to acknowledge my email and were very understanding of mine and others situation but completly white washed the point I was making - because the decision had already been made and no amount of public consultation will change that.
