Any thoughts on what GCT might use to operate the 32A? I hope they are nice to ride and have sensible fares as I will be using the service.

The fares will be the same because Nexus set then

True, I forgot about that, but Nexus might put the fares up. I don't understand why the secured 32A doesn't have a Return ticket option. Day tickets on GCT won't be as useful as GNE either, if they are still available on the service.

Streetlite reg SK67 FMY on the 558
558? Anyone have any thoughts on what is going to operate the 32A, and know if GCT are route learning as I have yet to see them driving around.
YX12 CHN now branded for Nexus by GCT, was on 13 today.

Bluebirds, running off M71 and 13 on Mon-Sat.

Thought so. They have Solos and Streetlites, but I thought recently Bluebirds were most likely. I look forward to riding the 32A soon. I don't know what they allocate the Solos, Versas and Streetlites to.
I am surprised GCT has not done any route learning for the 32A.
I see the 335 is being extended to Longbenton and back to the cobalt,is the 336 staying or is it scrapped,anyone know if anything is replacing the K3

Na the 336 will no longer operate as all trips will now serve Asda
It was a pointless service anyway
First day of GCT operating service 32A today.

I was expecting a bluebird lol
Heard from a friend that the driver this morning didnt know where he was going. Ticket machine wasnt programmed for 333 and the driver this afternoon was miserable and got lost.

The driver on the morning pre 11:00 journeys knew the route and all arrivals and departures from the Ferry were on time. Ask your friend if anyone missed their Ferry connection and the answer should be no.
