I'm not sure if you would count The Delaine (Lincolnshire) as an SME, but imagine if their services were included in a franchise and they failed to win any Lots?

Is it a positioning journey?

I'm not in the industry, but at a guess.... For big groups, each route has to pay a small contribution to the group's CEO salary (which is probably 10 times the salary of the small owner,) plus there is the cost of HR departments (rhe small owner may do his own HR), H&S etc etc likewise. Also...

And some employees prefer working for a small company where the managing director knows everyone And some passengers enjoy seeing the same familiar drivers - it has been known for drivers to be concerned where a regular passenger has not turned up and alerted the relevant authorities. A small...

I wonder if Nat Ex had not been sold to Mobico whether the outcome would have been different? If the coach division was suffering, would they have tried to innovate to regain their market, or just write it off without trying, leaving essentially only the West Midlands buses in the company...

Unless you are in danger of running out of time, I would not pay the fine yet, but wait for advice from this forum. But please, we do need to see the Penalty Fare paperwork.

If the Penalty Farre was not completed correctly, that would be grounds for an appeal. But we do need to see thre paperwork, with personal details redacted A misspelt name will not be a valid reason for an appeal

Thanks - makes sense

Why shouldn't it? Low bridges?

I imagine Siemen's production lines are booked months and years in advance, with components being sourced in line with the needs of the production line. If you pause the TfL trains, a contract for another operator can't just jump the queue to keep production lines running.
