Running a bit later than planned but final drafts for all four books have now been printed. If al is well, they will be on the website tomorrow.
The four books are :

North West Independents
Yorkshire Majors
Merseyside & Manchester Majors
Northern England Majors (basically everything else that isn't in the above two books).

The reason for the splits is to be ready for franchising in Liverpool, South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire.

As well as the Bee Network, the Manchester & Merseyside books contain details of routes out to tender for the Merseyside Metro franchises. As further details become known the book will be updated, possibly once the first Tranche has settled down and vehicle details are known.
