Given that GA have on 13 occasions (so far) purchased London bus operations, I wonder whether at least part of Sullivans such as the all-day work could be a 14th such purchase?
Uno may be willing to purchase Sullivans SDO work.
This could benefit Sullivans for giving them resources for additional commercial opportunities in Hertfordshire.

I think Sullivans will just stick with the routes they have now until they're all gone and just leave London

Was on the Intalink website and I noticed that school route 356 is being extended from Potters Bar into London towards Winchmore Hill. It also says it’s contracted to TfL. If this is the case, they wouldn’t duplicate an existing number that’s already in use in London and wouldn’t it be put out to tender like other TfL services, rather than continuing to be operated by Sullivans?

Maybe this is the mystery 618 that was added to the tender program?

Dean Sullivan has confirmed elsewhere it's an LSP operated route Thanks for the confirmation. I did think it would have been a LSP route but the wording on Intalink confused me when it said ‘service now contracted to Transport for London’

It’s honestly not surprising. I believe SB will pull away from any high pvr routes or maybe all..

Interesting that its been put out there now, as this was circulating in the garage for a year or more I still think they'll bid for the 299 and 389/399, as the 299s buses are compliant for another contract term, on a fixed 5 year contract, will be surprised if they don't bid. I expect them to no longer bid for any of the remaining school routes they have and the 217, 298 and W9 when they're next up for tender. 2027 for the 298 and W9 and 2029 for the 217.

I thought that will happen. I wonder if they will wait until their contracts expire to get rids of their routes or have another operator buy all the TfLs together?

Why would Sullivan bid for work when they stated they will no longer bid for TfL services?
