They have two, one for the 68 and one for the 701.

RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - OrangeArrow49 - 23 Feb 2019

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

RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - OrangeArrow49 - 02 Mar 2019

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.

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.

Na the 336 will no longer operate as all trips will now serve Asda

RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - V514DFT - 21 Mar 2019

RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - OrangeArrow49 - 24 Mar 2019

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.
