Is that what has gone out for operators to bid for? Cheshire East originally proposed that but the amended version post-consultation, which was approved by the CE cabinet, specifically mentioned a requirement for 39 seater vehicles to be used.

It's all open to alternative bids and suggestions, so end result may be different to the consultation proposals.

Am I right in thinking your weeklgy tickets are cheaper than 4 x day tickets? If so wouldn't it be possible for the average number of times weekly tickets are used to increase without increasing revenue?

Yes a weekly is cheaper but I was referring more to revenue rather than passenger journeys, 289 is very inconsistent compared to this.

I don't know. I also don't know if it varies between days - a Radbrooke Hall worker lives opposite me (who drives so doesn't use any bus) works the same hours Mon, Tues and Thurs but then on Wed works a longer day and on Friday a shorter day.

I do accept some people complain about overcrowding if 2 people have to stand or will stand if they don't see a vacant seat or won't ask someone to move their bag from a vacant seat. Strangely buses have a maximum standing allocation but don't have a recommended maximum standing time, while for trains it's the reverse.

It's down to what capacity actually means? Seats or total capacity with standing. I think the enviros are just the right size for loadings and the roads it uses. Though we have suffered with several punctures on that route.
