Cheshire East proposed funding cuts

RE: Cheshire East proposed funding cuts
No operators can't demand funding but LAs can agree a short term measure prior to putting the service out to tender (like TfGM did with the 18 prior to the 288 contract being awarded) and getting an idea of how much funding the current operator thinks is required gives an indication of how much a subsided service will cost.

D&G's 378 was based on one driver on the route all day so the extended gap was to allow for his lunch break. As for whether the use of the 378 number was confusing the same could be said about 288 services running to Manchester Airport from Altrincham when that number was used for Knutsford via Wilmslow services for over 20 years.
