Only M71 confirm atm. Wating on nexus to post the time tables. Surprised that Arriva have withdrawn the 6 and 552 from the same date

The 6/552 are contracted to Nexus. The fact that Arriva are 'withdrawing' their operation suggests that either Nexus has withdrawn the funding and Arriva don't want to operate it commercially, or the contract has been awarded to another operator. Arriva have run the 6 for at least 10 years now so quite surprising if someone else has indeed got it!

"Service withdrawn due to loss of Nexus contract" is what it says on the traffic commissioners local bus service registration data, so chances are Arriva have most likely lost the tender to another operator, just have to see what happens really...


RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - MichealAaron - 10 Mar 2021

A message I sent to nexus asking about timetable changes say we won't see/hear anything until a week before they come into place. So the week before 29th Marche expect to see the timetable changes for the 6/552

Does anyone know why? Or are we assuming its for the reported stop skipping.

There was discussions a while back that they had a vehicle on the road without an MOT if I remember rightly, so that might be part of it.

What could this mean for the company
