## Description

Co-op Live is the largest indoor Arena in Europe, with over 150 events every year\. Situated on the Etihad Campus, Metrolink provides a fast frequent service to the city centre on the Blue Line\. During summer, there was planned engineering in the city centre which will see a reduction to the Metrolink capacity on the Blue Line\. To mitigate the reduced capacity, TfGM will provide a post-event shuttle\. Operators were invited to provide bids to operate buses from Co-op Live to Piccadilly Gardens\.
