RE: JH Coaches of Birtley - Unber43 - 22 Jun 2023
Why was it pointed out that the R5 was very unreliable and something was done about it, but all the other R's interwork and are ran by the same operator, surely all the same problems will be for all the R's

The R5 doesn’t interwork with anything - it’s the R3/R4/R6 that interworks.

Lost mileage was particularly high on the R1 and R5 - it seems Gateshead Central often cancel these due to driver or fleet availability, over other services.
Obviously that would not have helped patronage on the R1, now being cancelled due to low use.
Good to see Nexus taking action.
