(02 Mar 2018, 7:41 pm)Dan I think there's been more important things going on this week, to be fair.

Regardless of that, I think it clearly suggests that these changes are only minor.

(06 Mar 2018, 9:20 pm)OrangeArrow49 Any info on the Nexus secured 32A? GNE contract to run the service expires 17/03/2018. I expect Arriva will get it again if GNE doesn't continue to operate it.

(06 Mar 2018, 9:32 pm)Michael Go North East are keeping it on a night and Sunday.

(06 Mar 2018, 10:52 pm)OrangeArrow49 Thanks, Michael.

I expect it will still be operated by 49-branded Streetlites with NSAs. 

As it only runs on a night and Sunday, it doesn't attract many passengers and I have only travelled on it a few times.

Why can't Stagecoach run the Nexus-secured night/Sunday 32A with Nexus support? That would be more consistent in terms of fares, tickets, quality of service etc.

(07 Mar 2018, 12:25 pm)Chris 1 At a guess, GNE put in a lower tender price.

(09 Mar 2018, 9:52 pm)OrangeArrow49 I don't even know if Stagecoach made a bid. The Nexus 32A is always either Arriva or GNE as far as I know. Some of Stagecoach's less profitable routes are part-funded by Nexus, but it's less noticeable when all Stagecoach bus services are the same, Nexus supported or not, compared to another operator getting it, so maybe they were awarded the Nexus 32/32A in the past.

I like the GNE 32A, with nice Streetlites and NSAs, but sadly it only runs at times I don't usually go anywhere.

No idea why GNE don't have the 32A on their website, like every other Nexus Bus service. They didn't even list the service as running or not during the recent adverse weather.

(01 Apr 2018, 8:08 am)Andreos1 Talking of the X66. Hearing rumours this morning that a re-jig of the Q1/Q2, will see the X66 extended to Wrekenton.

Renumbered the 66/66A and branded 'The Gateshead Wanderer', it will operate all stops between Ikea and Gateshead. The 66 will operate the clockwise loop to Heworth. 66A anti-clockwise.

The Q1 will still operate, but between Gateshead and Wrekenton, it will operate in sync with the 1 and have slight variations to the 1. 
Operating along Durham Road it will then go via Belle Vue Bank, Saltwell Road, Chowdene Bank, Durham Road, Harlow Green, the Angel and Long Bank.

New links will be opened up to residents of southern Gateshead as a result of these changes.
