I hope Gct buy another bus even if its a bluebird it will prevent van type buses with paper in the window being allocated to the 592,593.


RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - Tom - 11 Jul 2016

Just noticed guessing the 643 is being extended to Gateshead too?

I wonder if GCT are running all of the 37 then.


RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - Michael - 13 Jul 2016

I think Yx61bju is on the 73.

Still on


RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - EL1TE - 14 Jul 2016

(14 Jul 2016, 6:33 am)EL1TE The Streetlite WF has been repaired, just saw it in Gateshead, NIS. Has white on the front, so it hasn't been repainted



RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - biglugs@yahoo.com - 14 Jul 2016

It was a brand new bus i wonder if every thing that Gct will be 2nd hand from now on


RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - BJ10VUS - 14 Jul 2016

The Streetlite does look pretty awful having not been repainted. Hopefully something will be sorted soon?

It does look a bit strange with the white paint completely standing out of the Nexus livery. I think they will be repainting it soon, hopefully.

With the airshow next week will Gct use deckers on the 558 as theyve used lt02zzd on a normal day on it but for 515 trips swapped for a bluebird

As the 515 and 558 interwork on a Saturday, double deckers can't really be used if looking at it from a practical point of view, as Black Lane bridge would mean buses would have to be swapped at Heworth every time, or an extra bus (or two) would have to be added in to the PVR. Also, I can't see the Sunday 558 from the Cotswolds Estate actually being that busy, even on the Airshow weekend! I'm not saying never, but I can't see it happening.


RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - Malarkey - 16 Jul 2016

SL16 YPE appears to have been in an accident, has nice plain front bumper & light cluster (Door Side) which makes the vehicle look a right mess.

No photos of it as I was on the X1 when I seen it.

Nexus would need to request and pay for a larger vehicle by contract variation so unlikely.

The 558 will terminate at Seaburn Camp on 23 & 24 July with normal arrival and departure times planned.
