(08 Mar 2020, 2:54 pm)Dan There are agreed service change dates by area - these usually coincide with Nexus contract change dates (so North Tyneside is March, Sunderland/Washington is May).

(06 May 2020, 8:18 am)LeeCalder Given the tender specifications, I would assume GCT will be restricted to using just MMC's and Solo's on the Washington locals?
I wonder how many times that is flouted....

(07 May 2020, 1:02 pm)Michael Or how much of the route is missed out
Wonder if these will still go ahead on the 17th May, because of the crisis?
I wonder how many will get caught out, of being not allowed to use a GNE pass on the services? (atm they're allowed due to the crisis but what about after?), because people might still think they can use them after the crisis is over (unlikely to be for a while though)
Only 10 days away from changes, nothing as of yet on the GNE site.

Depending on the situation in 10 days time, I think we could well see a similar model used for this group of contracts as we have seen for those on North Tyneside.
The contracts that involve the handing over of 100% service operations (ie. 168) happens, but those that only apply on an evening & Sunday temporarily remain with the daytime commercial operator working from their timetable.
As for ticketing, confusion over pass use when operators change is a risk regardless of being in a health crisis. You'd hope that operators would publicise the ending of the current ticketing agreement just as much as they did when entering it. After that, as clarified previously, it's down to Nexus.
(07 May 2020, 1:08 pm)Adrian They'll have to go ahead, if the contract has been signed and sealed. The incumbent is no longer obliged to run the services from the 17th May.
I'd hope that Nexus would have studied the passenger data and pass usage heavily during the procurement phase, and would have been able to properly communicate to those likely to be impacted by these changes. But then again, I also hope that Newcastle will win the league... ?
There's nothing on the Nexus website either.

(07 May 2020, 1:15 pm)Michael Maybe but aren't Go North East still running the 11, 42 etc even though they lost the Evening/Sunday contracts?Believe so, but more fool them. Nexus should be told where to go, if their own contractor cannot fulfil the contract!
