RE: Tender Discussion Thread - Tom - 08 Aug 2014 Have we heard anything about the NCC contracts yet? RE: Tender Discussion Thread - Adrian - 08 Aug 2014 (08 Aug 2014, 2:25 pm)Tom Have we heard anything about the NCC contracts yet? I've recently requested similar info from NCC (and other councils), as I've provided for Nexus. I'll hopefully have that in a few weeks time, which will let us look ahead at what's coming up. RE: Tender Discussion Thread - Tom - 08 Aug 2014 (08 Aug 2014, 7:35 pm)aureolin I've recently requested similar info from NCC (and other councils), as I've provided for Nexus. I'll hopefully have that in a few weeks time, which will let us look ahead at what's coming up. They start 1st September if nothing has changed. I'd like to see GNE take on the 880 - a new ticket similar to the AD122/X85 ticket could be introduced, for example X85 + 880 ticket £7.20 - Should also boost passenger numbers on the X85 too. If I remember correctly, service 74 (Newcastle-Matfen-Hexham), 79 (Ponteland-Morpeth), 683 (Hexham-Newbrough), 688 (Hexham-Allendale), 689 (Hexham-Consett), 880 (Hexham-Bellingham-Kielder Castle), 882 (Colwell-Hexham) and other various stuff. I'd like to see GNE retain the 688 and 689, and possibly the 74 as all seem to get decent passenger numbers at times (even the 689, yes!). RE: Tender Discussion Thread - Drifter60 - 08 Aug 2014 (08 Aug 2014, 7:46 pm)Tom They start 1st September if nothing has changed. Interesting, well ish, that the 689 is a Northumberland Contract but operated by Consett under the Venture name.

Presumably someone has been sitting on the press release and it hasn't been published. Checked the date and it only appeared yesterday. RE: Tender Discussion Thread - Michael - 14 Aug 2014 (14 Aug 2014, 12:27 pm)Andreos Constantopolous They were. Typical Sunderland echo... haha RE: Tender Discussion Thread - Adrian - 14 Aug 2014 Nice one sided story there. Councillors say it's good, so we'll take that opinion... RE: Tender Discussion Thread - Tom - 30 Aug 2014 The Northumberland Contracts were due to start on 1st September, but nothing has been released about them? Has it been extended once again? RE: Tender Discussion Thread - Adrian - 30 Aug 2014 (30 Aug 2014, 9:07 pm)Tom The Northumberland Contracts were due to start on 1st September, but nothing has been released about them? NCC list attached. RE: Tender Discussion Thread - Tom - 30 Aug 2014 (30 Aug 2014, 9:14 pm)aureolin NCC list attached. A lot of the Hexham contracts are due to end tomorrow! RE: Tender Discussion Thread - tyresmoke - 30 Aug 2014 (30 Aug 2014, 9:17 pm)Tom A lot of the Hexham contracts are due to end tomorrow! I would assume that they have been extended again... RE: Tender Discussion Thread - Adrian - 30 Aug 2014 (30 Aug 2014, 10:01 pm)tyresmoke I would assume that they have been extended again... That list only arrived in my mailbox on Friday from NCC. I'll enquire on Monday for a definite answer. RE: Tender Discussion Thread - Adrian - 25 Sep 2014 Upcoming Durham County Council tenders. Current contracts all due to expire on the 25th October 2014.
RE: Tender Discussion Thread - gtom - 08 Nov 2014 Gateshead Council's latest budget proposal plans for the withdrawal of funding to Quaylink from the next tender (though it would need to reach agreement with Newcastle over this) It states Gateshead College is well served and services could be extended to the Baltic (I assume the 93/94) The impact statement notes the main concern is late night provision to the Quayside and the effect on hotels and potential development RE: Tender Discussion Thread - Michael - 08 Nov 2014 (08 Nov 2014, 10:50 am)gtom Gateshead Council's latest budget proposal plans for the withdrawal of funding to Quaylink from the next tender (though it would need to reach agreement with Newcastle over this) Isn't it 2015 for the new tender? I wonder if GNE will keep it on but change the frequency, i think a few people on here said that would be the best option. RE: Tender Discussion Thread - tyresmoke - 08 Nov 2014 Nexus have very recently put a tender out for the Quaylink service so this is an interesting development Re: RE: Tender Discussion Thread - Adrian - 08 Nov 2014 (08 Nov 2014, 3:28 pm)tyresmoke Nexus have very recently put a tender out for the Quaylink service so this is an interesting developmentIt can only be a short tender surely? Two year deal max I would have thought, since they'll be looking to tie it in with QCS after that... RE: Nexus - Malarkey - 10 Nov 2014 Wasn't to sure where to put this. Was at the MetroCentre rather briefly This Afternoon around 3ish, and Ray Parnaby and 2 other Enthusiasts were having a bit of a chit chat, so I went over and said hello, and according to one of those other 2 Enthusiasts (don't know his name) apparently Gateshead Central Taxis have put a Bid in for the Quaylink Contract. #Don'tShootTheMessenger #HashtagsOnNEB |
