Makes me wonder what there going to use. As the only thing they have spare is the deckers
Gateshead Central Taxis take over the Go North East/Jh Coaches SNS service free the 19th of April
Would hazard a guess that they use ADL Enviro 200MMCs on it. However it may be in their best interests to behave (running to timetable, turning up, running the correct route etc.) when operating this high profile contract. Bet they won't do as good of a job as JH/GNE.
Just have to wait and see. Makes me wonder if there gonna use single deckers or double deckers
I thought it was more of a shuttle for the fact that the 56 couldn't go past? When the road opens back up it seems odd to have a Nexus route effectively competing with a commercial route.
Connector shuttle from Washington's Concord Bus Station is the shuttle bus for the 56, wouldn't be suprised if the 56 is routed along there when the road reopens. Where as the Metro Shuttle links it to Heworth whilst the Sunderland Shuttle serves the likes of Castletown on its way to Nightingale. Giving the amount of local vaccination centres I'm amazed the Sunderland shuttle is still running, wonder if they are reducing the timetable on it.... not that GCT understands how a timetable works.

Around my area, the vaccines are being given at the Langdale Centre which is a council facility in my old middle school which is being used by local GPs as the vaccination hubs. I wouldn't be suprised if all shuttle services are withdrawn within the next month or two and the 50/56 re-routed to serve until the vaccinations reach a minimal level.

Everyone I know, including myself, got their vaccine at the GP or pharmacy

Well the running of the SNS got off to a good start, Solo SR YJ18DLE has expired near Nightingale.
