Are Go North East likely to run the 33/33A commercially if they lose the contract in March? If competition is being reduced on corridors are we likely to see big changes in Gosforth and North Tyneside, common ticketing for Arriva/GNE and changes to Coaster 1/Stagecoach 22 in Newcastle and Byker? Wallsend/Walker changes perhaps work together on timetabling (likely with 306/308/309/310/311 at Coast Road).
Maybe other bus operators could introduce new services in a new post-competition region?

New services - with passenger numbers only at around 65-70% of pre COVID numbers I doubt any operator will introduce new services (unless they replace existing ones). Bus operator costs have risen significantly - wage increases, extra cleaning cost, higher fuel prices - so I think we'll be seeing more cutbacks over the next 12 months.

As part of the BSIP are GCT involved? They operate services terribly, which is absolutely not value for money because they run them so badly they are borderline unusable. Cheap, yes, but the services might as well not exist in the current way GCT operate them.
What do people think about the Nexus consultations which end on 12th January? Be nice to see GCT run fewer services, better.

(25 Jan 2022, 8:03 pm)Michael Oh that doesn't sound good... Any Stagecoach Sunderland services (apart from the 8)?
Hopefully people can still use the Stagecoach passes on them!

(25 Jan 2022, 8:07 pm)Dan The March tenders are for Newcastle and North Tyneside.
Presumably any commercial reductions in Sunderland will be aligned to the usual Nexus fixed service change date in May.
