Hello, anybody know anything about oldham tenders, they are up for renewal atm, think they start November but not sure. Roumer has it though that first have lost all the tenders with MCT and Stotts winning them all. If so i feel this is a good thing as first dont seem to give a crap about their optares, using old bangers that break down a lot, 3 broke down in Rochdale alone yesterday, two belt issues and summet else...

Think it's just rumours tbh.
Depending on what's been won by who Stotts for one would need some more vehicles as they currently only have two spare Solos.
I wouldn't be surprised if they retain the 407 though as they run it too a tee.

On the subject of First tenders, I've been told by a pioneer driver that Pioneer have lost thier Stockport tenders. Not sure whether this means them loosing some of their hybrids though as there used on other services in the evenings and on Sundays, altgough the 168 was mostly normal Solos last Sunday!
