It gets no more than eight per day, let alone eight per trip…
Stanley Travel will be running this service now with an 8-seat taxi on weekends and a 16-seat minibus on weekdays.

Pointless running them, if they get low numbers of pasaengers a day.
At this rate it will be operated by a tuc tuc.
So none of the Nightingale Shuttle services are operated by GNE anymore?
The CS is still under GNE contract but with the amount of driver shortage they can't fill that contract which is why its usually been Henry Coopers or A Line
Wouldn't it be easier just making the 50 additionally serve the nightingale while it's still needed
A Lines 254 & I think 256 were on hire to GNE on Saturday and Sunday
254 was on the 57 and 58 and 256 was on the Q1/2
A-line Versa 213, YJ14 BHN, worked on Q3 this evening. Saw it leaving Haymarket for Great Park around 6pm and also returning at Barras Bridge just before 7pm

Was Riverside's 639 (going off BusTimes), did the same trip on Monday afternoon as well.
I know in term time at least Riverside operate it usually with a B7TL

It is still a Riverside duty, but is being covered by Stanley Travel every day this week (with Solo 639 which is on loan to them from GNE).
The same bus works the H1 during the day - which Stanley Travel are operating until the end of this week under contract to Nexus as Gateshead Central Taxis are short staffed at the moment.

Ah interesting. Didn't know Riverside did that run.
Didn't look like a journey for those with a nervous disposition.
I passed it in the opposite direction as it approached Chester and there was quite a 'healthy' load.

It was below 50% of the total seated capacity on a Solo, around the same number of passengers it usually carries on that journey (which is why Stanley Travel were intentionally given that run).

Below 50%?! My eyes must have been deceiving me. Looked a lot more than that.

Tbh I ain't bothered about it anymore. I've learnt my lesson not to get overhyped about a rare working.
Yea I admit it. I got overhyped about rare working on the 42A. Yes I'll hold my hand up I also got into talking about it to much. But I've learnt to stop it now.
Theres also an Omnidekka on the 41,but couldnt get close enough to I.D it
According to bus org it's 6136.
6134 is also on, it went past me just as I came out of work.
6004 is on the 97

Probably true - there are cruise ship shuttle buses on today (must be single deck), meaning that Solos will likely be on the 19 and double-decks on the minibus routes.

Streetlite 5479 was on one of the cruise ship shuttles.
Little pinks 685 on the 71 today, 5400 was on yesterday too
