It seems they are now awarding long contracts on routes which are unlikely to go commercial, presumably to reduce admin costs.

The value of that contract isn't clear because Cheshire East awarded all the contracts up for renewal to GHA and gave the total value. However, two of the services originally awarded to GHA instead went to D&G Bus and Arriva due to GHA having staff retention problems.

I'm sure that long contracts are beneficial to all parties concerned but, certainly with smaller operators, circumstances change and contracts are often handed back at very short notice. This is certainly the case on Merseyside.
