I thought most of indigo services in Peterlee are commercial ran now, as before GNE we’re going to lose the contract to Arriva, and GNE wanted to keep them

Quick question... Do these changes have to go through vosa? Or is it classed as exceptional circumstances?

Exceptional circumstances - but a record needs to be kept (and will presumably be filed with VOSA at a later date).

Suspect there isn’t anyone there to accept registrations in this climate...

As the situation develops and services are inevitably reduced further I wonder if/how Tees Flex could be repurposed as key-worker transportation network?

They were mad to even attempt a Saturday service. The demand was never going to be there for it.

Arguably, there's not enough demand for a Sunday service...

That's very true, the 16 (Stagecoach) this morning had about 5 people on, just seemed pointless to run a Saturday service.

The 16 was the same this morning, i wonder if services would be reduced even more, if a Sunday service isn't viable?

Update from Alexander Dennis:

We are suspending production at our UK manufacturing facilities, but our aftermarket and service teams will continue to support our customers in providing vital bus and coach services for essential workers across the country.

We will weather this uncharted territory together.


---------------

THIS must mean the CAZ zone needs to be delayed too - we're in middle of a crisis, no way are companies gonna be ready for it.
