It'll be a nightmare during any roadworks and also a nightmare to modify if changes in demand warrant a timetable revision.

In a way I kind of hope Arriva win that one and use Sapphire vehicles as that way if you miss the 14:55 bus from Macclesfield to Knutsford, you aren't forced to wait until 17:45 or to pay extra to go back via Wilmslow. I know there were numerous complaints about that gap during the consultation process but it seems Cheshire East are intent on having one vehicle also running a school service.

I think the tendering process will suit D&G Bus - they have suitable sized vehicles available for all the routes if they just swap a few Wincham vehicles for Crewe vehicles.
