Even if so, SYPTE no longer exists on its being subsumed into the SYMCA- that 'M' means the so-called County Mayor.

Doesn't matter whether it is Oliver Coppard or Dan Jarvis, they are both useless - 'County Mayor' or whatever fancy title they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest busdriver1 Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) New tendered service rounds. The following has been lifted from another place and is the current situation regarding tendered services. Please note, a company submitting a tender does NOT mean it will be accepted so dont jump to conclusions yet. This is part of an ongoing series of tenders and has no bearing on any local election results or promises made in the lead up to them. Quote Mon-Sat daytime contracts have been budgeted and signed off. This will see a return of all contracts that have been tendered, if operators can deliver. From what I'm told there was only 1 LOT that didn't receive a bid for any work and that was the new Askern - Norton M51 shuttle service. Understand negotiations are underway for an enhanced 51 service instead. So, subject to operators having enough resource we should see the return of services such as 114 Rotherham - Dovedale Road, 138 Rotherham - Kimberworth Park, 10/10A Sheffield - Manor Park/Manor Top, 32 Sheffield - Northern General Hospital and M17 Jordanthorpe - Dore, alongside various other services. Evening/Sunday tenders are apparently sill under discussions and the initial signs aren't great. Revised contracts went out last week and were due back on Monday 1yr and 2yr prices, which clearly states either there isn't enough operators interested or there isn't the sufficient budget available.
