Can we avoid the tittle-tattle, and if you have any genuine concerns about a contracted service, please contact Nexus directly instead? Such discussion on a forum isn't the greatest idea, especially when you're unlikely to have any substance to back the statements up.

(17 Feb 2017, 3:42 pm)Tom Ah right cheers, thought the 335 would have been more! Bluebirds it will be I guess then.

Keep your eye open for new vehicles later on the year. Possibly towards late summer/autumn.

This also ties in with the new vehicle testing facility that's being planned.

Ah right cheers, might just get loans for the 335 and W3 then unless they have enough to cover it.

I believe Gateshead Central Taxis are in line to purchase Go North East's Volvo B10BLE 4919 and Dennis Trident 3866. Not really 'new', but it'll release vehicles which do conform to the contractual requirements for these services.

I noticed two Bluebirds were on service 73 yesterday - usually Solos.

515 had a bluebird today.  One day last week saw a solo on 68.

I think it was Monday last week that they had the Streetlite on the 592 or 593 service - usually a Bluebird. Possibly the day when they had the Solo on 68 as a result...

Cheers, Bluebirds will most likely be used on the W3, and maybe T807CBW and X919WGR on the 335?

Forgot they also got the M71 too but that will most likely be a Bluebird

Apparently T708CBW has been on the 515 and 558 a fair bit recently as well.

RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - LVK 404L - 21 Mar 2017

Ex GNE B10 4919 on 558 today still with fleet number 4919. The service number on front display is on the left though is this not a breach of DDA as thought the number had to be pavement side.


RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - Tom - 22 Mar 2017

These have a Strata but unsure whether or not it is on loan, or a purchase?

Ah right cheers, they need to get the destination sorted like!

Have to say GCTs operation of the 335 (so far anyway) has been spot on compared to Phoenix.


RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - Charles41 - 22 Mar 2017

No change of keeper registered so assume it's just on loan.
