Nobody has any routes in a couple of years. The exact details of the system are yet to be announced but we don’t know how the provision of school services will work. They might be mixed in with other routes or they might be put in groups on there own, I’m sure the owners of Vision know what they are doing, and the influx of younger buses is a good sign.

Well there little stopping them from running services out of Blackrod in Chorley also.

Alan pilkington has spoken tonight online stating Pilkingtons were offered all the work but were not really interested as it’s only for 3 year period and reckons it’s risky setting up a satellite depot when they could loose it all in a relatively short period of time.

Have Vision picked up the Ribble Country network off Transdev, as well as the 153 ?. Their social media post specifically mentions 'Burnley and the surrounding area', which may indicate that ?.
