Well 80 pages in, a few legal judgements, smoking drivers, Bluebird inducing cramp and taxis on service routes....but they still stand.
Anyone expect GCT to have thrived or indeed expanded as much as they have to arguably become Gateshead's second biggest operator?
.....nah me neither

(15 Apr 2016, 5:09 am)Dan It cannot be argued that Gateshead Central Taxis has expanded as a business and grown (perhaps unexpectedly) to a satisfactory level, but when will we see the company give back? At the moment, they're leeching off tender opportunities within Tyne & Wear. People have questioned (rightly or wrongly) the methods and the reasons behind the scenes for why they can bid so low for contracts, but that's a different ballgame.
I personally would like to see them use their expanding knowledge of the market to attempt to operate a service on a commercial basis. This would show or prove how well Gateshead Central Taxis can compete with the big boys, without relying on Nexus to fund the service.

(16 Apr 2016, 3:07 pm)Ambassador Give back? How would you like them to give back? Every operator takes advantage of contracts and grants.
Brand new Angel buses with the Green Bus Fund, operator grants through more efficient buses. All operators do it. Of course they've expanded lately as a business. It's just petty to suggest otherwise

(16 Apr 2016, 3:14 pm)Dan As I said in my post - by using their knowledge of the market to operate a service commercially, without leeching off tender opportunities.
Other operators have managed to find commercial opportunities in services which were once subsidised - why can't Gateshead Central Taxis?
