RE: JH Coaches of Birtley - Unber43 - 25 Jun 2022
(25 Jun 2022, 7:45 pm)ifm001 82 timetable in BustimesWell that is going to fill up /s.
Gateshead to Columbia via QE Hospital and Birtley.
Wonder what's going to run on it, also another limited stop service between Wreckton - Gateshead. It has tight turn around time too of only 1-2 mins in each direction

I would assume JH will allocate 2x WF Streetlites?
I’d imagine that they have provided a very competitive price for this contract in lieu of losing all their double-deck Nexus school contracts to Go North East, Arriva and Stagecoach.

Would have liked it to still be every 30 mins, hopefully something else gets introduced in the xx47 slot from the Galleries.

Vehicles
ANE - new vehicles arriving soon which will allow older buses to be used on contracts
SNE - plenty spare buses across the country
GNE - buses saved with service cuts and from London
Drivers - who knows!!
TUPE applies if the drivers wish to move with the contracts https://www.gov.uk/transfers-takeovers

Hopefully it sees decent use, any estimates on fares?

Hopefully Nexus come to an arrangement over fare acceptance, otherwise those using it to connect to other services are going to be severely out of pocket and will end up looking at other options - i.e. the car.

Apart from 1 Streetlite and 2 E400's i can't see any other vehicles in the JH fleet that would fit on the 82/82A. Even the E200's may not be used because of the centre doors.

I don't think having dual doors would be a problem; it'd usually go on euro rating and min capacity.
I think the Washington work they've won is only specifying Euro 5.

Would that rule out the alx400s and presidents then, also what will the expected PVR of the 82/82A be?

Very easy to calculate from the timetable, 2 for the 82, 1 for the 82A

I'm presuming drivers may have some route knowledge from when they covered GNE in january

Traveline is showing the same times as bustimes for 82 & 82A, clear error here then.
