(02 Sep 2016, 1:23 pm)jaimzm Could put it on 23s

Might be too long to get around the estates. The 37 sounds more likely. Would like to see JH get both 23 runs.


RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - Adrian - 05 Sep 2016

T807CBW is on the 37 today.

Maybe Stanley Travel or Jim Hughes. Could be anyone really. Wouldn't be surprised at Phoenix GNE or Weardale took it on. Think GCT will keep it though if it is up for tender.

If that's the one parked underneath the A1 Western Bypass and next to the Tyne Valley Line, It's either been there a long time or it gets swapped round regularly.

Apologies if it isn't the place.


RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - omnicity4659 - 27 Sep 2016

There's quite a few of GCT's vehicles down there, including the E200

Yes they go there for maintenance.

Orange president seems to be permanently there

Ex-GNE 3867 is now with GCT..

Yes, If it's expected to be used past December 31st, Unless confined to Private Hires which in GCT's case I wont expect to happen.

(17 Nov 2016, 7:06 pm)South Tyne Lad Yes, If it's expected to be used past December 31st, Unless confined to Private Hires which in GCT's case I wont expect to happen.

Or on services which do not take cash fares and therefore do not need to be registered on VOSA (and therefore do not need to comply). I don't think GCT have any services like this though.
