Actually looking at the list of routes MCT currently operate after the changes in April there's not that many routes that will actually need covering and some could go to operators that run them during the day for example Sunday 197s and evening 237s could easily go back to Stagecoach, I wonder if they will go for X5 considering they operated it originally.

Both the changes to the cinema 18 (Arriva) and X5, 197 and 237 (Stagecoach) would make them much more popular again due to people in these areas typically buying operator only tickets.

It will be interesting to see if anything is going to be mentioned in the TfGM meeting tomorrow, or if we will have to wait for the 13th March. Just in case you are not aware they broadcast them on YouTube:
