Are Stanley Travel likely to be awarded some Nexus contracts in September, or March next year? I believe the works services are up for renewal in September, 392, 792, 794, 941, 968 etc? Then 32A, 33A, 84/84A etc next March?

Don't say anything. Gct will get it all  Confused

I have a feeling the 33 by gne (Newcastle) will go to gct. 

392 will stay with coppers I think 

792/794 will stay with A Line and Weardale 

32A 84/84A in fact all GCT contracts will be having a big think about it if they keep missing buses drivers and everything else

Interesting.
Of course, the H1 wouldn't need to be funded by Nexus, if it wasn't for commercial operators deciding links to places like hospitals, didn't need to exist.

Stanley Travel have taken over the service from today on an emergency basis to cover for Gateshead Central Taxis who have a driver shortage. Go North East has loaned Solo 639 to Stanley Travel to allow them to do this.

Gateshead Central Taxis lost the contract to operate this service from the end of July anyway, with Go North East providing the winning bid as the cheapest tenderer.

Ah right, Vosa is wrong then, as it says from 1st September 2021 for Stanley Travel to take over.


What other contracts have been won and lost?

It looked like Stanley Travel were running the Connector Shuttle from Concord this weekend, with a red 6 seater taxi.

I wasn't really out for buses so wasn't paying much attention, but there wasn't much to say what it was, other than it being stood at stand C repeatedly.

Was this the case, or is it purely a coincidence?

To be fair they could allocate a Rickshaw and would still struggle to get a full load

Due to very low passenger numbers (you never get more than two on one trip, sometimes goes all day without picking up a single passenger), Stanley Travel are now running this service on behalf of Go North East, allowing Go North East’s driver resource to be better utilised.

Go North East recently took over operation of a number of Gateshead Central Taxis contracts for Nexus on evenings and Sundays, and similar to this situation for the ConnectorShuttle, agreement was reached with Nexus to revise the Gateshead Central Taxis SNS contract to run on a lower frequency and interwork with the MetroShuttle, with Go North East’s service being withdrawn. This allowed the driver resource to be re-allocated to the Washington evening local services, which Gateshead Central Taxis were unable to cover.

An 8-seat taxi was used this weekend, with signage in the window for ConnectorShuttle: https://flic.kr/p/2mbTQrj

I believe a 16-seat minibus will be used from Monday.

In an ideal world the MetroShuttle would be diverted via Concord (following the same route as service 4 from Heworth) allowing the ConnectorShuttle to be withdrawn completely…
