RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - OrangeArrow49 - 16 Jan 2020
(16 Jan 2020, 7:30 pm)Big O Hey, I don’t think I’ve quoted the correct person but the website created wasn’t paid for and I got fed up of chasing them up for it so i deleted it.
I have now left the company.
You have quoted the wrong person. That is a shame, it was a good website.
I am not a fan of Gateshead Central Taxis.

Sorry, bud,
I don't want to slander my former employers but I spent a number of hours working on the site after work, which really upset me. That was the final nail in the coffin for me. Hope Go North-East is better.

You’re a bigger man than some of their employees who were formerly employed by Go North East, who love nothing more than saying how terrible the company was during their period of employment!

Anyone know if GCT will be operating the 84/84A with Fiat Ducato Mellor buses, or if they will use a Solos?

Can see a few complaints from the GNE customers then.
Whats the PVR for W1/W1A and W2?

Probably - ‘tis the nature of the beast though and not many passengers will understand that the local authority provides some journeys so their ticket they’ve bought in the morning may not necessarily get them back home.
Two for the W1, one for the W2.

It's really up to Nexus to mitigate that when they award contract work like this.
In the past, I've managed to give them enough earache to allow GNE tickets to be accepted on the 83A morning run, and also the 82/83 when Arriva had it on an evening. But its wholly on Nexus. Not the commercial operator or the contracted operator.

So 3 spare buses for GNE then, wonder if they'll get withdrawn?

709 could be a spare at Washington for 23.

I should hope they aren’t rarely allocated when they are the dedicated buses for the W1 (as 709 is for the W2!)

It’s quite a complicated one in that the operators have to reach an agreement with the local authority to accept tickets. Usually the daytime operator has to pay for the privilege, I understand.
For something like this, the evening contracted work supplements the daytime work, so it may be in the daytime operators’ interests to reach this agreement.
Good news is that ticket acceptance has been agreed now for the 11 and 19. Contracts yet to be awarded for the evening 41s.
