So, if true, we're probably talking just a few journeys effected.

I think most of the 12e trips are tenders? So the evening and Sunday trips? Not sure what funding is used, the evening ones seem to be based around serving Fradley Park, and Sundays possibly with bsip money?
The 1 registration has appeared in bustimes.org now. Also listed as cancelled from the end of may is the 11, 125 and 129.Only info I can find is the 1 being cancelled from 24th May. I can't see anything relating to the 12/12E changing but the 805/806 school runs are moving operator and being renumbered 12A/12B.

How very odd, seeing as their contract for the 129 just got extended last month (how long for, though?):The 1 registration has appeared in bustimes.org now. Also listed as cancelled from the end of may is the 11, 125 and 129.

What I assume is the last round of the Leicestershire retendering. I would assume the extension was merely to get it to 1st June when the new service network would come in.How very odd, seeing as their contract for the 129 just got extended last month (how long for, though?):

I suppose it thus falls under the NW Leicestershire network review rather than the Charnwood one

Unless Diamond have decided to hand back the tenders for the 125/129 as the 125 in particular has a lot of dead running Burton to Coalville.

Probably just a route renumbering to put it in another Leics group.How very odd, seeing as their contract for the 129 just got extended last month (how long for, though?):

It could be, 125 shows as cancelled too.
Diamond website states that route 1 and 12E will not be operated by them from mid May, but by another operator. They refer people to the Staffordshire Council website for further details.

LCC have given early notice on and retendered almost all the supported services in the county so no reason not to assume that they haven't done so here or, given they were only recently extended, that the reported extension was only to get them to the planned date for the wider retendering of 1st June. The replacements for the 125 & 129 were in the last tender round mostly covering western Leicestershire, winning operators were probably informed this week but final details will remain to be sorted so details will appear in the next few weeks.

I wonder when we will see those Custom Denning buses in service with Diamond Bus EM?
With a date of 17th May yet the registration has 24th and no mention of the 11.
I did see a picture of one at the depot a couple of months back. Apparently the Scania's are for sale so can't be far off.
