I expect it will be JH most likely, GNE if not. Don't think anyone else could do it.

Contract has went to Jh Coaches for the 900 between the airport & Four Lane Ends
RE: Metro Replacement Contracts 2023 - Aaron21 - 19 Jan 2023
Nexus have announced that another metro replacement contract is coming in February during the 11th & 12 of February between Haymarket & Four Lane Ends
RE: Metro Replacement Contracts 2023 - Aaron21 - 23 Jan 2023
Although not confirmed yet but its possible another long metro replacement contract is coming up
From the stagecoach website says that in March. Fawdon level crossing will close from 19th of March at 12am and reopen at 4am on the 25th of March. This is more likely indication of a 5 day metro closure. This isn't confirmed by nexus but whenever work has been done on the level crossing. It's also resulted in the line being closed
RE: Metro Replacement Contracts 2023 - Aaron21 - 26 Jan 2023
Metro Replacement between Haymarket/Four Lane Ends & Regent Centre will be the following
900 Haymarket/Four Lane Ends
902 Haymarket/Regent Centre
Edit updates
900 will call at Regent Centre towards Four Lane Ends & buses seem to be every 8 minutes

When was the last time stagecoach ran a metro contract? 2000's?

Last year if this is to be believed, although I don't know if it was shared with others.
