North East Buses

I see the tenders for the Newcastle and North Tyneside tenders have recently closed. 

I wonder if Northstar will win any?

Which service tenders are coming up?

It will be the ones in North Tyneside/Newcastle. So the 18, 19, 32/32A, 35, 317, 335/351/359, 653, X46, W1, W2 etc.

Cheers, quite a few services on that list.

Let’s hope they are specifying larger buses or a frequency increase on the 351. The overcrowding, which started before the Christmas rush, is not good. Three large (and growing) housing developments need a better service into the City Centre.

To be honest, the 351 needs to be something more than a subsidised Micky Mouse service.
