Central Taxis Gateshead: LN20 OPK. by Guy Park-Royal, on Flickrentered service today on what looks like the H1, the destination screen isn’t making much sense judging by the route number stuck inside the windscreen.

RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - RM2186 - 06 Mar 2020
It's actually day 3 in operation on H1. As you point out there is an issue with the front destination screen which we are waiting for an engineer visit to correct. Nice driver by the way, I nearly waved at you
RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - N1cholas - 06 Mar 2020
Does the H1 still pick up around 10 passengers a week or has it improved

(01 Mar 2020, 12:12 am)park5354 3 new buses arrived on Friday.
LN 20 OPK/OPL/OPM.
They are Mercedes with mellor bodywork, in battleship grey with red roof, and black skirt.
A fourth should arrive on Monday.
They should see service as soon as they have ticket Machines fitted.
Followed MMC200 'OCM' up the A1 today. Presume its for GCT.
Seems to have plenty of speed behind it, but looked as though it was feeling the gusts of wind too!

As posted by one of GCT's drivers on 'North East Bus Enthusiasts' Facebook Group, YX20OCN and YX20OCM have arrived.

OCN (there's a long lost link to NE based buses restored) must have been ahead or well behind OCM.
Didn't see it at all.
RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - Kuyoyo - 20 Mar 2020
The same driver had now posted a photo of 8 E200MMCs on various Facebook Groups - sadly the quality means it’s hard to make out the registrations.

(02 Mar 2020, 6:52 pm)ASX_Terranova Are they normal stratas, pluses or ultras, what will they be used on?Stratas, 2 on 84/84A and 1 on W2.
RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - OrangeArrow49 - 22 Mar 2020
I like the new MMC200 on the 42A. I haven't been on it yet, but it looks smart.
RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - park5354 - 23 Mar 2020

Seen a Strata on the 11 yesterday, should these be allocated?

GCT up to their old tricks and missing out parts of the route.
Appreciate the 37 doesn't pick up or drop off many at Biddick Woods, but if it's part of the route, then serve it.

Also worth noting that the evening/Sunday service in North Tyneside, awarded to GCT from 23 March, is now being operated by Go North East again under contract to Nexus.
