Stanley Travel do the R5.

Also, they have been on the 23 every time I've seen it.
Does the GCT Bluebird on the 23 run onto a TVTE workers service?

Saw it scooting onto the A1 at the angel last week and guessed it must be off on to something else.

The majority of the TB prefixed service with Gateshead Central have a contract specification of 6 seats the  preferred vehicle is therfore an 8 seater rather than a Bluebird.
The TB14 doesn't use a Bluebird. It uses a taxi.

Also, the 23 has a full time allocation of a Bluebird.
Thanks both

According to the Nexus website, they run the 90, 933, 939 and 941, but I'm not sure which journeys are which company, as some journeys are also run by Go North East, Weardale and Stanley Travel, amongst others. I'll have a look if I can find more information.
