TfGM haven't awarded any contracts to GHA. Cheshire East Council/Transport Service Solutions are responsible for the awards of the P1, 88, 200 and 289 services, while GHA operate the 130 Sunday and Bank Holiday service commercially (after they originally lost the contract to D&G.) The 289 contract is currently up for renewal but with some of the funding coming from Cheshire West and TfGM, those two authorities may not be too happy if Cheshire East want GHA to keep the contract. Also like I mentioned in an earlier post the new 289 contract will require the use of 35 seater buses so I'm not sure what GHA have got which will be suitable - the Solos and 29 seater Darts are ruled out while the Wright Renowns and 45 seater Plaxton Centros might be a big difficult to use on some of the rural roads.
