But they aren't, i believe, franchisees, at least not in the way that East Thames Buses are. tom -- Dude, read Aquinas if you want intelligent. This is the internet. |

But they aren't, i believe, franchisees, at least not in the way that East Thames Buses are. I think they are - although they are mainly community transport contractors, they have both won TfL tenders in competitions. HCT operate the 153, 394 and 388 (and possibly others) and ECT operate the 195 way out west, all of which are "real" TfL routes (the 388 is even double-deck, and runs right into the City). But your original point probably stands, because I expect their TfL routes are operated as "profit-making" routes. Someone else will probably know for sure! |
