RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - busmanT - 27 Mar 2021
(26 Mar 2021, 5:07 pm)MichealAaron Bus org is reporting all Newcastle/North Tyneside Routes have a change 28th of March. Could be a glitch due to there being no change that I can seeNexus website normally lists all the changes for the following week - only 4 services changing, contract changes

GCT only operate 2 single journeys on the 553, one early morning and one early evening. All the other turns on the 553 are still Arriva and I assume they are still using the stop inside the hospital grounds. Will try to check this out tomorrow.
RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - MichealAaron - 30 Mar 2021
Arriva have a specific contract with the NHS to run the 553 into the grounds but GCT don't

Noted this evening that three journeys out of Doxford Park did not operate:
- 17:11 37 to The Galleries
- 17:15 592 to Roker
- 17:15 593 to Pallion
I hope GCT's expansion and award of the contract to operate service 6 has not come at the detriment of its other contracts!

Do companies have to provide Open Data now and what happens with the data?

Gct are on a thin brach with Nexus and VOSA they have been warned many times. Missing service buses along other. Wouldn't be surprised they get shut down if anymore stuff happens

According to the Dft website, they should be providing timetable, location and basic fare data by now: https://publish.bus-data.dft.gov.uk/guidance/operator-requirements/
However, nowt but fresh air when you have a look under Central Taxis Gateshead on the BODS website: https://data.bus-data.dft.gov.uk/avl/?q=&organisation=551&status=&submitform=submit&ordering=-modified

It's not hard to do really, albeit there is a financial burden, but as it's a legal requirement then it falls into the same category as other things you should be spending on. Plus it comes in useful for passengers, after all!

(30 Mar 2021, 10:15 pm)Newcastle Flyer I spotted YX20 OCN out on the W1 before 10am, yet I had it on the 552 at 16:15. Would be interested to know whether they dumped the later W1/W1A trips to run the 552!YX20OCN operates 552, then drops onto W1 at 09:05 (Earsdon Grange). At 15:25 ( Whitley Bay Metro) it drops out, then operates 552.
SG19HOA operates W1 from 07:30-08:53, then operates service 6, which then drops onto W1 at 15:30 until 18:25.
THIS ARRANGEMENT IS AGREED WITH NEXUS, as they wanted a larger bus on 552.
553 06:53 from Wallsend is operated by YX20OCM, then onto W1A at 07:35.
553 16:46 from Freeman Hospital is operated by a Merc Strata off 84/84A.

Noted that neither journey on the 593 operated on Thursday, or, at least, did not make it as far as Pallion.
