RE: Howards/Springfield
1 Bova and 3 'nearly new service buses' for sale 'due to loss of council contract'. Only the metro city is shown on the photos but Mr Howard does state on the Facebook post that there are 3 I am unsure which 3 these are. It was posted on a Facebook used bus and coach trader group.

Did they bid for many of the new Cheshire East contracts?

Despite having 5 year contracts, we did bid for them.

While I don't know the exact terms of the contracts I was very surprised that mis-managed Cheshire East decided to award 5 year contracts for the former GHA routes and then undertook reviews planning to cut them back so soon afterwards.

However, what I was really getting at is did you just bid for the 27/88/188/289 replacement (which another poster on here claims D&G got) or try for some of the others as well?

Apologies, but I've always had trouble keeping up with re-registrations: Noted on the soon to cease 200 today was an MPD which looked like F14 HOW. Can anyone advises its "provenence" so to speak?
